Gulp - it all sounds like a recommendation for big singles! It worked for Mr Lindbergh
Ok, scenario - Boeing 777 full of Sedbergh and his overweight hand baggage, mainwheels just left the deck, one engine sheds the turbine blades - does el Capitano have shut the other down & land straight ahead???? M25 here we come?
The thread is about light twins, so lets not get confused and get a load of replies about V1 etc. This does not apply to MEP type aircraft (perf B).
JAR OPS states perf B for MEP light twins. So, requirement to clear obstacles by 50 feet (I think) to 1500' after take off and a 1000'/5nm positive gradient en route clearance requirement as well as being able to hold altitude at or above MSA.
Nearly correct, except that it is after assumed engine failure height, ie 300'. My previous comment stands, that below this you are guaranteed jack.
All the comments about my twin performed ok on this or that occasion are not of any value in answering the question. FFF wants the air law side of things. He flies light twins, so knows how they perform. I have to say though that I am surprised by the amount of people who do appear to fly them without knowing the facts!
