Correct!
The 787 has an interesting issue with engine out - at lower airspeeds they have to limit the thrust of the 'good' engine to insure there is adequate vertical tail/rudder authority to maintain directional control.
True, but I think this is there for the abuse case rather than normal ops. Our QRH states in the event of the system failure for this we have to maintain flight above 130knots to remain in control in the event of an engine failure. Been on the 787 several years and I don’t think I’ve ever flown below that speed…
