Question Working out new MDA/DH with an engine inoperative

Hi,

To work out a new MDA/DH with a CR-2 Whiz wheel what heights do you use?

I know for a MAP you must meet the 2.5% climb gradient requirement.

Therefore before flight you work out a one engine inoperative possible gradient.

Say you worked out you could achieve 2% with one engine.

You would then put 25 (2.5%) below 20 (2%) on your whiz wheel (required on bottom).

You then need to find the required height to achieve the MAP, I am wondering how you work this out. Is it merely the Height given to climb in the MAP on the plate from the normal MDA? (so MAP height - normal MDA height) ?

Just was re reading an example out of a text book without a great explanation.
