Ferocity of the replies Paradise Lost? I think not.

I believe that the general consensus expressed in this thread is that "Categorised" OEISIDs would be a good thing, a very good thing indeed!

An operation penalised by having to consider the "worst case" aircraft that may be using it, is infinitely better than no procedure at all.

I do agree with Oz_Expat's words many threads ago that it would be a huge task, but, as people like Mutt have indicated, the operator may reserve the right to independantly develop a procedure for a particular type if adversely affected.

There genuinely are numerous considerations to make, and I do not envy the people developing the various categories if this could be implemented. Many differences, even for the same performance category aircraft have been mentioned, having named a few myself, in hind-sight differences in 1st Segment Gradient and Distance would probably be the worst difference of all.
