fcom-3 all engines inop

The FCOM Volume 3 gives advice on what to do if all engine start attempts are unsuccessful. The
following advice is extracted from the 146-FCOM Volume 3.
If the engines start attempts are unsuccessful, fly at VFTO + 30 to maximize range.
Glide performance at VFTO + 30 with zero flap and gear up is approximately 2.5 nm/1,000 feet; a 360 o
turn using 25 to 30 o of bank will result in a 5,000 feet height loss. Reduce to VER before starting the
approach.
