Simple matter if the backroom guys are doing their job properly.
Suggest you ask your flight standards folk (or ops engineers if they are in house) if the engine failure case has been examined for the entire SID track. Our procedure always was to make sure that a failure, anywhere along the departure track, was accommodated by the OEI procedure. If your folk don't do so, perhaps you should ask them to come along for a ride on the relevant departures on a regular basis ?
Absolutely true. This was 2002, when I joined in 1999 there were no TOLD tables at all. It took them a bit of time before they listened to the pilots out there and improved the procedures. Small company, flying contracts away from home, little oversight. Still the best job I’ve had!!
