By the time one is rated to fly -- anything, not just multi's -- one has

engine out. Taxiing with a single engine would be part of that training.
So why doesn't anyone seem to have done it?
In fact, they do. I often see multis taxiing in to the ramp with just
one engine running. Mostly turboprops.
Curious coincidence: I just saw the show on CNBC about American
Airlines that they're saving a lot of fuel by taxiing on just one
engine.
