the Commander may decide to fly a different speed than the one used to determine the 120 min distance.
... but at the planning stage must carry sufficient fuel to fly the speed schedule used for the certification.

ie. you can't use a high speed single engine speed to determine a wide area of operation (with its associated high fuel flow), but on the day plan a fuel-efficient low speed single engine diversion in order to uplift a higher payload.
