What is the single engine climb rate of the 757?

Looks like eferrel reads "Flying" and asks questions he already knows the answer to. This month one of the magazine's columnists got to "fly" 3 US Air simulators, a 757, a 737, and an Airbus 330.

When the check pilot was asked which was his favorite he said the 757, but would not say why. After a single engine landing, they left an engine shut down, lined up again, and did a single engine take off. The instructor said to leave the gear down, then had the speed brakes extend, and had the writer check the VSI. They were still getting 1500 FPM. That's when the check pilot pointed out that this was why it is his favorite plane.

Single engine climb rate will vary with weight, anywhere between 600 feet per minute to 2000. With gear down and speedbrake out, single engine, anywhere from no climb at all (descent) to maybe 800 feet per minute.

For Flap 5, V2 can vary anywhere from 132 knots at 160,000 LBS to 169 knots at 260,000 LBS

But rate of climb is all dependent on weight, there is no "set" rate at which it will climb.
