Thanks 'pinsan for your input

At FUE the is a similar option

MACG 4.0% = DA:270
MACG 2.5% = DA:303

This is an extract from my OPS Manual

The nominal climb gradient of a missed approach based on ICAO PANS-OPS is
2.5%. At any airport where Jeppesen offers a choice of minima based on any
other climb gradient, those associated with a 2.5% missed approach climb
gradient must be used unless the airfield brief contains performance information
enabling the use of a higher climb gradient.


So unless the airfield brief allows us to use the 4.0%, we must choose the higher 2.5% DA

Ive just checked the airfield brief for FUE and all it mentions is that there are two DA's based on 2.5% and 4.0%, nothing else
Also the last time I flew there, I remember the captain saying in the cruise, can you check the MACG table for 4.0% against our est LW and OAT at FUE. I did and we were below the Limiting weight so we selected the lower DA. I.e. The 4.0%.
