Yes, the 757 is a great performer during T/O and initial climb and one engine inop. The flight controls are somewhat on the heavy side so handling is a dull affaire.

2400 ft just won't do - I cannot remember the minimum control speed [ground] for one engine inop but it must be in the 100 knots range = you can't set full bore before you got 100 knots = you need miles more than 2400 ft. Anyway, 2400 ft is too short for landing, 6000' will be OK for a legal landing at 210.000 lbs - I wouldn't dare on less than 3000'.

Funny thread. Whats the title ?
