The approach can definitely be performed because:
  1. The GA climb gradient used in the calculation is based on one engine inoperative (for a two-engine aircraft). However, during a normal approach we have both engines operating. You can also notice that the landing climb gradient is already quite high; therefore, if we perform a go-around with both engines, the climb performance would be even better.
  2. Even if we were left with only one engine and attempted the approach, I think it could still be done (no better choice) , but we might not be able to follow the published missed approach procedure. In that case, we would need another option if a go-around is required, such as following an engine-out SID or another suitable procedure.
