They never run one engine harder than the other while docking? There are no other equipment using the fuel (such as gen-sets)? They always alternate the engine started first? They never shut one down to clear debris from the prop/jets while leaving the other running to maneuver? They have fire suppression pumps on both engines and use each the same amount in drills?

I worked on 65 foot 100 pax cat's for 5 years, (ran them the last 3) I was with the company. These things were normal for us.
