As you no doubt know, Cat A performance guarantees 100 fpm at Vtoss to 100 feet, then 150 fpm at Vbroc to 1000 feet, achieving Vbroc prior to exceeding your 2.5 minute power duration. It's right in the Sikorky FM. And we use our Cat A weights, as well as being able to maintain a 50 fpm climb at our MOCA, in determining go/no-go.
