Last night, I operated to an airport with MSA of 5500 Ft in the Takeoff area, that means the worst obstacle was 4500 Ft. A 4500 Ft highest obstacle, after applying Gross/Net corrections for OEI means a MAA of 6785 Ft, or MSA of 5500 Ft as that is a safe altitude.
While I understand Gross/Net as applied to climb gradient, could you expound on Gross/Net in regards to MAA?

Thanks, GF
