one of the requirements is that the runway is long enough for a single engine climb out in case of a problem..
but in any case this jet can on one engine climb at a very steep rate of ascend, much higher that what would normally be required, mean we are taking 5000ft/min climb, you'd feel like you are in a space rocket...
