Any one out there use special DP's (departure Procedures) to allow a heavier take off weight and if so do you have any special aircrew procedures/checklists in place to brief/analyze the intended instrument departure.
The runway analysis charts we use also depict the emergency turn (alternate procedure) if it is required due to engine failure on takeoff, and are reviewed, along with the all-engines departure procedure (SID) prior to engine start....provided of course, that the runway in use has not changed in the meantime.
If it has, the new data is reviewed.

Pretty standard stuff in everyday flying, with most operators.

However, a few airlines apparently have the need to complete overly long briefings, as though each flight is an Apollo moon landing...which, quite frankly, at our end are simply not necessary.
