FAR/AIM: § 121.183 – Part 25 airplanes with four or more engines: Reciprocating engine powered: En route limitations: Two engines inoperative.
FAR/AIM > Federal Aviation Regulations > PART 121—OPERATING REQUIREMENTS: DOMESTIC, FLAG, AND SUPPLEMENTAL OPERATIONS > Subpart I—Airplane Performance Operating Limitations > § 121.183 – Part 25 airplanes with four or more engines: Reciprocating engine powered: En route limitations: Two engines inoperative.
(1) There is no place along the intended track that is more than 90 minutes (with all engines operating at cruising power) from an airport that meets the requirements of § 121.187; or
(2) It is operated at a weight allowing the airplane, with the two critical engines inoperative, to climb at 0.013 Vso 2 feet per minute (that is, the number of feet per minute is obtained by multiplying the number of knots squared by 0.013) at an altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest ground or obstruction within 10 miles on each side of the intended track, or at an altitude of 5,000 feet, whichever is higher.
(1) The two engines fail at the point that is most critical with respect to the takeoff weight:
(2) Consumption of fuel and oil is normal with all engines operating up to the point where the two engines fail and with two engines operating beyond that point;
(3) Where the engines are assumed to fail at an altitude above the prescribed minimum altitude, compliance with the prescribed rate of climb at the prescribed minimum altitude need not be shown during the descent from the cruising altitude to the prescribed minimum altitude, if those requirements can be met once the prescribed minimum altitude is reached, and assuming descent to be along a net flight path and the rate of descent to be 0.013 Vso 2 greater than the rate in the approved performance data; and
(4) If fuel jettisoning is provided, the airplane's weight at the point where the two engines fail is considered to be not less than that which would include enough fuel to proceed to an airport meeting the requirements of § 121.187 and to arrive at an altitude of at least 1,000 feet directly over that airport.
