 +===== 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.
 +
 +
 +===== FAR/CAR Regulations Applied to C310R =====
 +
 +
 +==== 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
