Ok, a bunch of us just got asked if twin engine must be able to meet, on one engine, the published IFR Take Off mins that exist at some airports, discussed here
http://myairplane.com/databases/approach/pdfs/SC5TO.PDF
Take a look at "Eagle Lake", min climb required is 420 FT per NM.
The question was "well, we know the plane can do it on two engines, but if your POH says on one engine, that it cannot do it, are you still legal to depart, under Part 91"
Every guy in the room said, no, cannot depart legally. We were told we were wrong, under Part 91, you can.
Comments? Either way, nobody could find this elaborated on in the FARs or we at least couldn't find it.
THanks
