Agreed!
My appologies, I should have previously stipulated the example as a CAT I approach, and the go-around from CAT I minimums, for that example.
However, since you bring it up, let's assume another example. The approach is a CAT IIIB, and a
published missed approach existed (As it would). At 50 feet (Published Minimums - DH) you go-around (Reason is not relevent). The engine fails upon selection of TOGA. Published Missed, or EOSID?
(Assume an EOSID exists for this runway)
Now, assume a
hypothetical CATIIIC. Again, with a
published missed approach. This time you go-around from 0 feet. (Minimums are 0 feet and RVR per FOM). The engine fails upon selection of TOGA. Published Missed, or EOSID?
(Assume an EOSID exists for this runway)
I would agree that a go-around after "landing" does leave you "...lost in woodwork..." regarding the engine failure during that go-around. One of the issues would include
when the engine actually fails. Agree, or disagree?
Furthermore, I am aware of at least two airlines FOM's (One that I worked for, and one that a peer worked for) that stipulate that the EOSID will be considered for both Take-off and Go-around, and considering that, I can make some assumtions regarding this subject.
All of that said (Please read this carefully), it would seem - following a go-around - that if flying below 1500 feet AGL(All initial climb segments not completed, thus not into the enroute climb phase),
AND,
a positive EO "Required" climb gradient is not achievable (see quote above!!!),
AND/OR,
if below the MSA, MOCA or MORA (as applicable),
AND/OR,
the EO "Required" climb gradient can not be achieved (again, see quote above!!!),
AND,
the
"EOSID" can gaurantee terrain separation,
AND,
FOLLOWING THE ENGINE FAILURE you are
able to fly that
"EOSID" procedure,
from the place where the engine failed , then the answer to this question would appear obvious.
Agree, or Disagree?
