It’s call thermally stabilizing the engine parts.

The CRJ we had to motor the engine to get the itt below 100° before start

Yeah that’s all good in all. But it’s when they get to the gate and I start flapping my arms and it stops and I am still flapping my arms

What did you say !!!? When the engines turn the other way???!!! During reverse are you sure you are a pilot ?

The rotor of the engine will “bow” and if you accelerate in that condition the blades will rub

Often see pilots turn off one or two engines depending on the aircraft before reaching the gate. Probably wear and fuel related.

So the engines have reverse thrust for cooling purposes but not reverse movement of the air craft?

Doesn't taxing to gate on idle already cooling. Sometimes taxing to 5-15 minutes

I never realized the phrase “cool your jets“ was an actual thing.

A220 is 5min, and we landed at airport where it took about 2min to get to the gate, so we sat there off the gate until the timer hit 5. this was the P&W engine with the bearing concern. Future is 2min

Is it cooling the jetengine before the gate / before shutdown???

Just like all turbocharged gasoline or diesel engines. need to slow tye turbocharger down and stabilize the exhaust temperatures as you dont want the engine oil to bake on tge turbocharger bearings

Where do you get your model airplanes from in the background? Shopping around. I see them for sale from delta.

A350 mechanic here.. keep being that pilot with knowledge. It’s appreciated. For the life of me I don’t understand why pilots with a short taxi time roll to the gate and fall short of the stop line and give so much power to move up..and shut down before the engines even have a chance to stabilize to idle. Any input on that?

When some parts very hot they actually expand/grow. The cooling gets the back to normal temps so as to not possible a turbine blade scrap the outer case I heard.
