I've had the long held belief (and I don't remember where I learned it) that a 4 engined jet transport was NEVER balanced field limited, but rather always limited by the 115% AEO requirement, and the 2 engine a/c is limited by stop/go and virtually never by 115%. There may be exceptions to many rules, but in general is this belief correct?......or are there enough exceptions that I must change my memory?
Boeing also believe in this theory.
