I believe the original post pertained to three engine ferries. At our company, they are performed by all check airman, who are all three engine qualified, and have to have done a relevant sim run in the last year (I think). Though I am not a check airman, I rode support for one regaining his three engine currency recently, and it was quite entertaining. Our numbers for a three engine dispatch are actually predicated on doing the whole takeoff on two engines, which it will do just fine, though you may need a proctologist to find the seat cushion. There is no V1 speed, or rather it is always VR, and so is dropped. Of course you want superb weather, daylight, correctly aligned stars and anything else you can think off. We actually have a couple of check airman who like doing them.
