It would not be normal to T.O. with one of the three engines inop. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Airlines_Flight_266 That article describes a 727 accident near Los Angeles in January 1969. The summary says the aircraft departed LAX with two of three engine-driven *generators* operable (not with one *engine* inop), and two minutes after takeoff the crew shut down the No. 1 engine after a fire warning, taking a second generator offline. The single remaining generator overloaded and shut down, leaving the aircraft with no electrical power. Flying at night over water in marginal conditions (visibility was less than 3 miles in fog and rain) the crew was unable to maintain control of the aircraft and it crashed into Santa Monica Bay four minutes after takeoff. This accident led to the FAA requirement for battery-powered standby instruments in transport category aircraft. You can download a PDF copy of the 1970 NTSB report (AAR70-06) from the Embry-Riddle library's web site at: http://amelia.db.erau.edu/reports/ntsb/aar/AAR70-06.pdf ljd
