Our GWCs will - where required - split the emergency turn procedure into several segments.
If failure occurs in segment A, continue to limiting DME, then follow procedure A. If past A, but before passing B, continue on the SID to the next limiting DME, then follow procedure B.
If the failure occurs after the limiting DME for procedure B - you are OK, follow the SID. Also, our Part C states that where no notes are made on GWCs, the chart assumes a climb straight ahead to the MSA.
The question then begs - if you have initiated a turn on the SID (no notes on GWC) and then get a failure - what to do? Our perf. department till haven't come up with anything better than "Turn back to intercept the runway QDR". But we all know that this procedure is not adviseable at all airports.
Solution - prohibit GWCs with "No notes" stated (and triple the cost - I know)...
Any ideas?
