I don't fly the 139 and I don't have a bone in this fight, just curious.
Usually from a training perspective the only bit of the Cat A certification that needs training is the approach and departure. I suspect this is backed up when you read the performance section of the training supplement. I would bet the only graphs in the training supplement are ones for the landing, takeoff and path 1/2. There will not be an en route graph. Also pay attention as some aircraft cannot achieve path 2 when doing training OEI when they can for a real OEI. I feel that’s not usually a problem as you’d be brave to do a training OEI in a limiting obstacle environment in IMC.
