J_T,
Plan to print out your instructions and pin them to the notice board, might actually remind people that there is more to this than just entering numbers into a program!
4-Dogs,
Glad to see that you agree with the method based on efficiency, our justification for using this was that you would always achieve a higher gradient with AEO. Unfortunately this was great until we realized that when our non-native speakers study procedures, they memorize without understanding! There is a Boeing chart that shows the different stages of takeoff, the acceleration portion is shown as a level acceleration, around here that has come to mean "Altitude Hold", so whatever advantage was achieved by the ALL ENG climb is immediately negated following an engine failure!
We have one airport in particular where the FRA is 1600ft and the standard ALL ENG acceleration height is 1000ft. We are growing increasingly concerned that someone is going to reach 1000ft, have an engine failure and immediately select Altitude Hold!
So as 411A has stated its time for the KISS system, make both heights the same. While at the same time reiterate in training that its not meant to be a level acceleration.
Mutt.
