(2)For the purposes of subregulation (1)(b), the following factors shall be taken into account after the failure of two engines—
(a)the effects of wind and temperature on the net flight path; and
(b)the effects of fuel jettisoning, where the jettisoning is conducted in accordance with procedures set out in the operator's operations  manual and sufficient fuel remains to arrive at the destination aerodrome at 1 500 feet AGL with a fuel reserve sufficient to fly for 15 minutes thereafter at cruise power.
