@Mysticlambo No, no loss of control there. The way the system is setup, you only need 1 hydraulic system (of 3) to have the flight controls. The hydraulics control much more than that. Because of the way the systems are setup, we will only have half the brakes (inboard brakes only) if just the left (#1) engine is running. If we use the right (#2) engine, we will have all (inboard & outboard) the brakes available.
what happens if you have a bird strike and #2 goes out? Do you loose control over the main control surfaces? or are you referring to different hydraulic purposes?
@trepo757 It's actually the #1 engine. We single-engine taxi to save fuel. When taxiing single-engine, we taxi on the right (#2) engine for hydraulic system purposes. Also, it's the First Officer that starts the engine while taxiing.
This is a SkyWest Flight

i find it odd that the captain starts the #2 while taxiing...I have heard of it being done with props, but never with jets.
