Sec. 121.161 Airplane limitations: Type of route.

(a) Unless authorized by the Administrator, based on the character of the terrain, the kind of operation, or the performance of the airplane to be used, no certificate holder may operate two-engine or three-engine airplanes (except a three-engine turbine powered airplane) over a route that contains a
point farther than 1 hour flying time (in still air at normal cruising speed with one engine inoperative) from an adequate airport.


Will pay a visit to dispatch and see how they interpret this in relation to night closure of airports, rather than weather closures.
