Getting back to the “Critical Engine”, in the older B707 AFMs, they state that VMCG is based on the “failure of an outboard engine”. In the newer aircraft, this has changed to the “failure of a critical engine” which now corresponds to FAR25-149.

But can anyone point me to a Boeing or FAA definition of a “critical engine” which discusses the effect of wind?

Thanks.
