For two- engine aeroplanes, the time strategy is sometimes considered to be equivalent to the approved one engine inoperative speed, but a higher speed approaching VMO/MMO could be selected if conditions warrant. The flight crew is not bound by the speed assumptions used for EDTO flight preparation purposes.
thanks, this is indeed helpful.
Do you happen to have a reference or document where your regulator explained this? I’d be really interested to read more. You can share in a PM id you wish. Cheers!
