Mark Six,
You can see from the statement that this does not provide proof of compliance (in fact it confirms non-compliance); it deals with the provision of data for performance, not the additional elements (of ACJ OPS 3.480(a) and (b)) that are required for operations over a hostile environment.
Whilst that might suffice for some (non-JAA) States, it does not satisfy the basic requirement for certification in Category A (or assessment of equivalence).
Most of you will also know that whilst UK CAA Group A can provide a method of compliance with the objective set in ICAO Annex 6 Part III for PC1, the boundaries between the segments and the required climb performance are not the same as Category A. It might therefore be difficult (but not impossible) to establish compliance with the PC1 and 2 profiles that are described in Subparts G and H of JAR-OPS 3 as they were built around the parameters of Category A as provided in Parts 27/29.
