Well, the situation is the following. An SID on a runway where you need a minimum climb gradient of 5.5% for obstacle clearance. The airport is largely surrounded by mountaineous terrain. The TRI's question was: If you have an engine failure, not at V1, but during the initial climb (eg 700ft AGL) would the B738 still meet that required climb gradient to clear all terrain and obstacles.
I can't use the go around tables as this for F15, which gives me a climb gradient of 6.4% for the given conditions. But this is for a typical Landing weight with flaps 15 and VREF40+15
Thanks
