Hudson, m&v, not all of us have the luxury of the high speed V2s. Where large flap angles are used for runway performance the climb speeds are low; thus 2.4 % at 110 Kts V2 and say a ground speed of 100 Kts, only gives approx 200 ft/min.

When considering SOPs, do we seek altitude for safety or time to asses the situation? More thrust should give more alt but less time at the critical period, and possibly at the expense of control with risk of error. There is probably no set answer, thus each to his own, but at least know why the SOP is written for a particular operating method and not the other.
