THREE ENGINE LANDINGS 
Three engine landings are accomplished using the same procedures as normal landings, except 
that the flaps should not be extended beyond 50% until landing is assured. On approach, the 
rudder must be coordinated with any throttle movements for the asymmetric operating engine. 
Reverse thrust should be selected only on the symmetric pair of operating engines (inboard or 
outboard).
