Gulfstream 550

On this highly automated aircraft, which Gulfstream claim has had vast flight crew input, there are still one or two odd balls.

For example, in the event of a engine failure, the crew must manually change to TA only.
The reason given being that the "computers" do not know the aircraft is sinle engine. And there might not be enough power, etc, to make the required climb.
I am very surprised that this consideration is not built into the software.

In relation to the main thread, has single engine situation, been built into Airbus TA/RA situational awareness.
