Sorry,
but "No, I can't either".
I've been posing the same question multiple times to all sort or pilots be it technical, procedure guys etc.
At the end of the day we are left with this decision to be taken the day it happens - I try to stay safe.
better high then low, better fast than slow.
then it comes to the details assuming a CAT I (OEI) Minimum and going around at 200 feet. How long does your gear take to get up? And where are you once it is up and the flaps are in by that one notch?
I think it really boils down to what the situation is. When going around at MLW with a 4 Eng in hot and high you may have the flaps at go-around position and the gear up when reaching 860'.
Try that in a high performance bizzjet. By the time the gear is up, you shoot through 1'500 feet at 3'000 feet per minute...
I try to judge where, when loosing an engine in the approach (go-around), I may be able to reach the standard missed approach track and especially vertical profile.
Does it help with your question? Discussion is opened...
