springbok449, that's absolutely right. There's a word play in here with us. EOSID has got the purpose just to reposition you for the immediate return, whereas Special EOSID (Emergency turn) presumes avoidance of obstacle due to lack of performance.
However the discrepancy in here is that the RTOM CHART gave us 233 T RTOW with the data above, which supposed to take care of everything on take off, as the name suggests, namely clearance of the obstacle by 35 ft. Remind you that this 231 T weight is a obstacle limited RTOW with codes 4/4, with the RTOM CHARTS assumption of engine failure at most critical stage.
That's the basis of RTOM charts:
The JAA Certification rules determine the take-off procedures for the Airbus A330. They ensure that in the event of an engine failure during take-off, it shall be possible either to abandon or continue the take-off with full safety, having regard to the length of the runway, stopway, clearway, second segment climb and obstacles in the take-off flight path, for the prevailing wind, temperature and pressure altitude.
So theoretically according to the description above we should have been able to clear it, as we took of with the RTOW of 231 T,in the SIM we didn't. Not even a chance. Since there was a special EOSID (emergency turn), we need to follow it, for sure.
That's the only confusing thing for me.
Anyway, it was good to see it.
Cheers.
