Popay,
You use 1000ft/min if I read your post correctly.
How do you guarantee obstacle clearance over the entire distance to LSA ? Can you calculate the distance covered in the clean up where the aeroplane is not climbing at 5%?
One of the problems is that immediately obvious obstacles may well not be the limiting ones.
By following the EOSID you are ensuring that you meet all of your regulatory requirements as well as ensuring that you live.
By not following the EOSID, regardless of the justification, you are unable, in my opinion, to guarantee that you can meet those obligations.
One area where I believe that C & T has done the general flying community disservice is doing sims at "training weights" how often do you do a sim at limit weight on a terrain limiting airport? Most of the sims I have done over the past 15 odd years have been done at reasonably light weights - or at least weights tonnes under the limit weight.
I think as a result of that we often have an unreasonable expectation of what the jet will do in an engine out case - a dark and stormy night isn't the appropriate place for a surprise when the jet doesn't do what we expected!
