In the light of the comments made by discountinvestigator I wonder if I could trouble you to post a broad outline of the EOSID you have for LGW/EGKK. Given the example of an aircraft suffering an engine failure on a departure off 26L perhaps planned on a SAM or LAM SID, where would it go (roughly) on the EOSID?

When I used to operate from Gatwick there was a published Emergency Turn for depatures off 26L (for the 767) which was (IIRC) turn left about 15 degrees from runway track and climb above MSA. The company SOP is to follow the SID in the absence of an Emergency Turn.

I think that the LTCC/KK TWR controllers would be interested to hear what track you would fly and to what level you would climb if the unfortunate did occr.

All the best
