Well, err, yes, as previously stated it's almost all about the geometry (including the sweep of the wing) coupled with what's hanging/sticking down under the wings and where...I'd guess there are some twins with not a lot of pod clearance that don't have a lot of tolerance.

You could certainly afford to be slightly more "carefree", if I may use the term, with the AOB approaching and into the flare on something like a T7 than you could on a 747.
