Certainly a comprehensive reply
So the 2nd segment obstacle clearance req. starts at Gear up
But the 3.3 % grad starts at the end of TORA.
If I use 10kt tail wind figures then that will guarantee me the best initial performace but then I lose out with induced drag by having a lower V2 hence a higher pitch attitude and also I'll have increased rudder deflection
Can you just explain again where I go from here
Thanks again
