BOAC,

Absolutely correct. EUOPS requires the Operator to provide crews with a safe path back to a point from which a landing can be made. In the past we all had Emergency Turns only where there were obstacles in the takeoff flightpath that couldn't be cleared with the normal straight-ahead acceleration (altitudes varied with manufacturer and airlines). Then we were left on our own at 1500 ft with the a/c clean.

Now we are better protected and the same requirements of a safe path applies to the G/A. In our company we brief the Emergency Turn procedure for both takeoff and landing and include it in the FMGS (A320) secondary flight plan and/or Rad Nav page.

It is slightly more workload for the crew but it means we're protected. Get your company to do the same or get your performance done by an EUOPS company.
