V1 cuts seem to be pretty std throughout the fleets? I have flown 737, A320, DC10, 757/767 and as I recall, they used to accelerate at 500 feet on engine out, now we accelerate at 800 for normal and engine outs (all fleets I believe). They just did a FM revision that changed our acceleration heights for engine out and all engines missed approach from 1,500 AFE to 800 AFE to standardize, I guess? The bus uses SRS guidance on engine out which climbs/accelerates... I THINK that was similar to other fleets, but they have different FD guidance. On engine out takeoff, they have us climb to 1,500 AFE before starting a turn maneuver unless a specified "t" procedure is published for airport/runway.
