737ng in qf is only cat2 certified at present, and only for all engines operating, so it is entirely feasible to be able to leave airport a and not be able to return .

And there is no data to establish what the single engine fuel from v1 to engine out altitude is at all, hence my question.

So does all engine fuel cover the engine out journey? Perhaps? But how is one to know if no data exists?

Consider melbourne -> Canberra , with melbourne 125m in fog, and Canberra nominated as your takeoff alternate.

At the planning stage, how is it possible to state we have enough fuel to cover the contingency of e/o all the way to Canberra?

Assume Avalon/east sale also fogged in for arguments sake. It just seems odd that no data exists for climb single engine at all on the worlds most used aircraft!
