Sec. 25.147 - Directional and lateral control.
(a) Directional control; general.
It must be possible, with the wings level, to yaw into the operative
engine and to safely make a reasonably sudden change in heading of up to
15 degrees in the direction of the critical inoperative engine. This must
be shown at 1.3 V (1) The critical engine inoperative and its propeller in the minimum drag position; (2) The power required for level flight
at 1.3 V (3) The most unfavorable center of gravity; (4) Landing gear retracted; (5) Flaps in the approach position; and (6) Maximum landing weight. (b) Directional control; airplanes with four or more engines. Airplanes with four or more engines must meet the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section except that -- (1) The two critical engines must be inoperative with their propellers (if applicable) in the minimum drag position; (2) [Reserved] (3) The flaps must be in the most favorable climb position. (c) Lateral control; general. It
must be possible to make 20° banked turns, with and against the
inoperative engine, from steady flight at a speed equal to 1.3 V (1) The critical engine inoperative and its propeller (if applicable) in the minimum drag position; (2) The remaining engines at maximum continuous power; (3) The most unfavorable center of gravity; (4) Landing gear (i) retracted and (ii) extended; (5) Flaps in the most favorable climb position; and (6) Maximum takeoff weight. (d) Lateral control; airplanes with
four or more engines. Airplanes with four or more engines must be able
to make 20° banked turns, with and against the inoperative engines, from
steady flight at a speed equal to 1.3 V (e) Lateral control; all engines
operating. With the engines operating, roll response must allow normal
maneuvers (such as recovery from upsets produced by gusts and the
initiation of evasive maneuvers). There must be enough excess lateral
control in sideslips (up to sideslip angles that might be required in
normal operation), to allow a limited amount of maneuvering and to correct
for gusts. Lateral control must be enough at any speed up to V [Doc. No. 5066, 29 FR 18291, Dec. 24, 1964, as
