| + | ===== FAR Part 23 Requirements ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | <note tip>There is nothing in 14 CFR part 23 that requires a multiengine airplane to maintain altitude while in the takeoff or landing configuration with OEI. (AFH Ch 12)</note> | ||
| + | |||
| + | The current 14 CFR part 23 single-engine climb performance requirements for reciprocating engine-powered multiengine airplanes are as follows. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **More than 6,000 pounds maximum weight and/or VSO more than 61 knots**: the single-engine rate of | ||
| + | climb in feet per minute (fpm) at 5,000 feet mean sea level (MSL) must be equal to at least .027 Vso 2. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For airplanes type certificated February 4, 1991, or thereafter, the climb requirement is expressed in terms | ||
| + | of a climb gradient, 1.5 percent. The climb gradient is not a direct equivalent of the .027 VSO 2 formula. | ||
| + | Do not confuse the date of type certification with the airplane’s model year. The type certification basis of | ||
| + | many multiengine airplanes dates back to the Civil Aviation Regulations (CAR) 3. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **6,000 pounds or less maximum weight and VSO 61 knots or less**: the single-engine rate of climb at | ||
| + | 5,000 feet MSL must simply be determined. The rate of climb could be a negative number. There is no | ||
| + | requirement for a single-engine positive rate of climb at 5,000 feet or any other altitude. For light-twins | ||
| + | type certificated February 4, 1991, or thereafter, the single-engine climb gradient (positive or negative) is | ||
| + | simply determined. | ||

| + | ==== CAR Part 3 (1949) ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | § 3.83 Stalling speed. **Vso at maximum weight shall not exceed 70 miles per hour (59.5kt)** for (1) single-engine airplanes and (2) **multiengine airplanes which do not have the rate of climb with critical engine inoperative specified in §3.85 (b)**. | ||
| + | |||
| + | (b) Climb with inoperative engine. All muliengine airplanes having a stalling speed Vso greater than 70 miles per hour or a maximum weight greater than 6,000 pounds shall have a **steady rate of climb of at least 0.02 Vso** in feet per minute at an altitude of 5,000 feet with the critical engine inoperative and: | ||
| + | - The remaining engines operating at not more than maximum continuous power, | ||
| + | - The inoperative propeller in the minimum drag position, | ||
| + | - Landing gear retracted, | ||
| + | - Wing flaps in the most favorable position, | ||
| + | - Cowl flaps in the position used in cooling tests specified in §§ 3.581-3.596. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Vso = 72kt = 83mph -> Climb Required: 1.66fpm | ||
