Like CL300 "MAYDAY" is your password to get ATC's attention.
We set up the APG departure procedure in FMS 3 and if required it is then switched to the PF's side so that he can follow it.
Some places we go into are in mountainous areas, like KESE, KASE, LSZH to name a few. There is no way one could takeoff following the published SIDs and make it to destination on long flights, thus APG.
But that doesn’t really answer the original posters question does it. If you are loaded such that your second segment climb is not restrictive for the SID you are on, would you still fly the escape in the event of a failure? Or would you follow the SID?
