RTOW Min and Max Acc Heights

Hello, I have the following question regarding RTOW charts:



That's for a runway with an elevation of 1548' AMSL as per chart. It says that your min acc height should be 529'. My airline uses 400' as the standard acc height for almost all runways, including this particular one, so the acc altitude in this case would be 1.950', as per airline SOP. That's of course below what the RTOW charts says it should be (2.077'). Not much but still.

So? Am I missing something? FCOM says those heights and altitudes in the chart are just the "min and max acc height/altitude", nothing about EO condition or something that would explain that difference between what the RTOW charts says it's the minimum (2.077' QNH) and what my airline uses all the time (1.950' QNH).

Any thoughts?
