OK, so I am here at the USAF advanced instrument school, and from what I gather, all communities address this differently. USAF requires all multi engine guys to meet the 200'/NM (higher if published) OEI. However, talking to some of the folks in the class with airline experience, this is not necissarily the case at all 121 or 135 operations. Further, there is only very vague guidance in the FARs/AIM/Instrument Procedures Handbook. Language like: The pilot must have an emergency plan of action should an engine fail on departure. Anyone care to tell how their operation addresses this issue? SDPs anyone?
