How many of you ATC folk out there are aware that we (large charter airline) recently implimented standard emergency turns in the event of engine failure after take off ?
If terrain is a factor, it will usually tend to follow the SID or miss relevent terrain.
If it is not a factor, nearly all of them indicate at 1700' an immediate turn back to the overhead beacon - VOR or NDB.
Now, if we did this at, say LGW or MAN, would you be surprised and has anyone discussed this at Grown Up level
