Diesel said:HAAAAAA a 310 making a single engine climb? Where did you get those numbers. It's not required to meet any climb gradiant.
The Cessna 310 weighs less than 6,000 pounds, but stalls at 63.9 knots, so it too mustmeet the enroute single-engine climb standards. Plugging 63.9 knots into the 0.027Vso(squared) equation produces a requirement of 110.2 fpm. The 310's actual single engine climb under Part 23 conditions is 119 fpm.
There's another point to consider here. The FAA does not require continued single-engine takeoff capability for any light aircraft other than those designed for air-taxi work and capable of hauling 10 or more passengers. Stated another way, there is no reason to assume that an aircraft will exhibit positive single-engine performance in the takeoff configuration at sea level just because it had to meet a single-engine climb-performance requirement at 5,000 clean.
It's a good plane when you're in that stage of your life or you're the owner.
Not to haul crews around like it's a taxicab.
Hmmm...
