Good discussion.
Something that occasionally passes through my mind is the S/E G/A. You have taken off, had your engine failure, followed the ET, climbed to MSA, etc. then returned to the airfield, unfortunately becoming unable to land at the last minute (maybe using a different runway to the one you took off on).
I understand (and I stand to be corrected) that most performance calculations only give obstacle clearance out to 1,500' AAL, clean and after that you are on your own. Given that SID profiles are normally quite different to missed aproaches, should consideration be given to flying a departure instead of a G/A?
If you end up landing (or attempting to land) on another runway, you may be unable to make the gradient required on the appropriate SID but also be 'in the poo' if following the standard G/A...
Maybe the answer is something close to a missed 'circling' approach, involving manoevring to get on an appropriate departure, although terrain at some airfields may negate this.
Anyone got any particular thoughts?
