Yes we did double Eng failures after T/O at high weights, was interesting.

And we did 2 Eng approaches, if I remember correctly you didn't put the gear down UNTIL you were 100% certain of landing. You were then committed, however in the sim we used to practice go-arounds after gear down. You accelerated down the slope while cleaning up to flap 5 I think? then climbed away. it's been a while since my conversion to the 400 ( 14 years ago )

We all know VMCG and VMCA with 2 engs out is higher.

Our T/O data is all computer done now and it only gives you the VMCG.

Interesting though, it must be in the Boeing AFM which we can't see?

Thanks for the info but as I'm now on the 777, VMCA after 2 Engines fail would be the last thing on my mind!!
