Hi , interesting posts, I have a related question, can anyone point me in the direction of some reading material that explains how it is / is not possible to have a single engine acceleration altitude higher than the the 2 engine thrust reduction and acceleration alt. Related to A320 in my case if that makes any difference.
If would seem to me common sense that it is Not possible. Ie if you have reduced thrust at say 1200 ft with two engines and started to accelerate then 1 donk goes bang , you are now accelerating below your Single engine acceleration alt of say 2000ft. (2000 ft presumably having been worked out with regard to obstacle clearance?).
However I have been having conversations with people who seem far knowledgable than me saying this is not the case.

Help gladly accepted.

Thanks
