at least one operator disregards the published (runway analysis obstacle clearance figure) one engine inoperative acceleration altitude if, on arrival at the level off altitude, the crew are still carrying out any Recall Items of a non-normal check-list. etc etc
sound quite sensible, fly the aircraft first.. the whole point of min FRA is the word min. as in not below. So if they dont start accelerating till 1300 feet instead of 1000 then its hardly the end of the world. It should not compromise their terrain clearance as they will have an improved overall gradient during that extra couple of hundred feet and its far better to do things in the taught sequence than faf around trying to level and accelerate while running checks.
