VEJ,

I am presuming that your question relates to minimum V2 speed schedules ?

Current requirements for V2min are

(a) for the initial takeoff

(i) 1.20Vs for two- and three-holers. .(ii) 1.15Vs for four-holers. .(iii) 1.10Vmca

assuming that the Vr schedule permits the aircraft to achieve this speed.

It is common for the AFM to schedule performance both for the minimum schedule and slightly higher speeds - the latter to take advantage of the improvement in climb gradient.

(b) for final climb OEI minimum speed is 1.25Vs.

If you were interested in checking the requirements for a particular make and model, you would need to run a search on superseded regs as well after checking the certification basis in the TCDS for the model to trap any minor differences applicable to older aircraft.
