Explanation
14 CFR 121.565 requires landing at the nearest suitable airport after an engine failure, except that on an airplane with three or more engines, if only one engine has failed, the pilot in command may proceed to another airport after considering whether doing so is as safe as landing at the nearest suitable airport. Dispatcher approval is not the criterion.
