Wizofoz,

I agree it is a reasonable question.

I think I would consider that I would probably be nearly DH/MDH * 2 below the missed app profile with a balked landing just prior to touchdown, and that height loss cannot be assumed to be regained if on one engine. If there is no one engine SID then perhaps a normal SID maybe a better choice given that you will be a few hundred feet above that profile, and unless there are promulgated specific climb gradient requirements I think it maybe safer to assume that you will remain clear throughout the manoeuvre despite the initial standard SID climb gradient being higher.

In short, I'm thinking that flying a normal SID is a valid consideration.
