FAA Seeks Comment on One-engine-out Procedures
Portions of current safety policy are built around both engines operating at takeoff.

The FAA is seeking comments on how protected airspace around airports is designed to allow for the safety of an airliner when it experiences an engine failure after liftoff. The agency currently evaluates certain airport clear zones assuming both engines are operating. The proposal wants to consider a common departure path for all aircraft in the event of a power failure. Comments are due by June 24, 2014.
