Twin take off on one engine?
I'm wondering if it's legal? I'm referring to a recent crash where the pilot decided to take off on one engine and clipped a tree. Looking over 91.205, you can't take off with out a magnetic compass.. but it doesn't say anything about one engine out of two. -- Dallas |

The POH seems to me the ultimate source of wisdom indeed. But what is/are fars? Something USA-specific, probably? |

Otherwise you will not go very far. |

Jan... the original answer would have been a bit more clear if it had stated "the FARs" meaning the USofA Federal Aviation Regulations. Bob Moore |

Actually, it is theoretically possible to do so, given enough runway to attain single-engine rate-of climb prior to liftoff. Simply making VMC won't suffice, unless you have enough excess power to make it to the higher speed. -- Remove _'s from email address to talk to me. |

"a" wrote in message ... You'll find the limitations in the pilot operating handbook: the fars demand you observe those handbook limitations. That would be 91.213 Inoperative instruments & equipment. Of course, if there happens to be an approved minimum equipment list that says that single engine takeoff is OK... Vaughn |

I think it was the Aero Commander 500, IIRC. |
