Take care, canthover, those profiles are not JAR Cat A if it is not certified that way. They are OEI profiles, and probably useful, but Cat A is a whole raft of requirements, not just a performance spec. For example, the required design virtues must be met, including isolation of engines and fuel, so that the probability of a dual engine failure is remote. A twin can have fantastic OEI performance and be woefully short of Cat A. This is not to say that the 109K2 is that way, just that it could be. Call the local tech rep and see what Agusta says about this.
