Isn't there a requirement that the plane has to be able to complete the distance on one engine if it is over open ocean?
I remember reading something about that somewhere... I think it might have been in an article about the 777 or 787? Maybe I'm imagining things? I'm sure there would be many ppl here who could clarify either way.
