Single Engine Taxi Without Auxiliary Power Unit - SETWA

Pioneering sustainable aerospace for In Service aircraft

Benefits

Fuel Savings

By not using the APU during taxiing the corresponding fuel quantity is not used.

Increase APU maintenance time interval

The APU usage is reduced so the time interval between overhaul maintenance increases.

Sustainability Trend

Airbus aircraft are already capable of operating with a single engine during taxiing. This service proposes additional fuel savings by not using the Auxiliary Power Unit during Single Engine Taxi.


Flight Crew Operational Manual (FCOM) gathers all Airbus recommended procedures to be applied while operating an aircraft.
Airbus has moved the Single Engine Taxi-In procedure of the FCOM from the Supplementary procedure chapter to the Standard Operational Procedure chapter.


One engine operation during taxi is now the Airbus default recommendation.
This is a concrete example of our commitment to participate in the decarbonisation of the aeronautical industry.

Harmonise your fleet

Most recent Airbus aircraft have the capacity to further reduce the carbon footprint by not using the Auxiliary Power Unit during Taxi.


For fleet harmonisation, and also to apply the latest technology to our legacy product, this service proposes to modify wirings in the engine pylon to make the aircraft SETWA compatible.
