To put this in perspective, the 787 can fly for five and a half hours on one engine. The Boeing 777 is also certified for ETOPS 330, while the popular Boeing 767 only gets a 180 minute (three hours) ETOPS certification.

As with every Boeing airplane, the 787 includes many layers of redundancy for continued safe operation, and the electrical system is no exception. For example, Boeing has demonstrated that the 787 can fly for more than 330 minutes on only one engine and one of the six generators and land safely.
Can planes fly on just one engine? Absolutely. That is what they are designed to do. By law, planes have to be able to fly from point A to point B, over water, on just one engine.
We have made it clear that the Boeing 777 can actually fly with one engine without much trouble. Whether it is fuel starvation, the fan blades, or any mechanical failure causing the engine to fail, if any of the jet engines fail, the remaining engine can help the plane fly safely.
The Boeing 747 is a four-engine wide-body jet airliner that has been in service since 1970. It is one of the most recognizable and iconic aircraft in the world, and has earned the nickname “Queen of the Skies”.

Aerodynamic altitude: If a commercial airliner flies too high, it will encounter less dense air passing over the wings to create lift. This can cause the plane to stall and fall out of control. Depending on the weather conditions and aircraft weight, this can occur anywhere between 40,000 and 45,000 feet.
The requirement for any large commercial flight (short-haul or long-haul) is to have a minimum of two pilots, regardless of the nature of the flight. That comprises a commander of the aircraft (captain) and a co-pilot (also known as the first officer).
Re: 777 and 787 common type ratingPilots can fly both, even on the same day. That's what the common type rating enables. If you required differences to go between them after the initial differences course, it would not be a common rating.
September 24, 2023A single-engine Beechcraft BE23 crashed in a field near Roger M Dreyer Memorial Airport in Gonzales, Texas, around 7:30 p.m. local time on Saturday, September 24. Only the pilot was on board. The FAA and NTSB will investigate.
These aircraft will be approved for night operations on specific routes if they demonstrate effective compliance and risk mitigation, but it is important to ensure that flight commencement or termination does not fall within the circadian low window, according to the DGCA.
Sir Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline said: “The A380 is a truly special aircraft in so many ways. For Emirates, it gave us the opportunity to redefine the travel experience, efficiently serve demand at slot-constrained airports, and bolster our network growth.
