I must be missing something ...

(a) approach climb requirement is a design standard based on OEI, approach flap, gear up

(b) landing climb, likewise, based on AEO, landing flap, gear down.
No, not missing something...been this was for many years, since CAR4B, as I recall.
New(er) folks need to look at the specific requirements...the takeoff climb limits do not necessarity apply to the landing climb requirements.

I will repeat...look carefully.
The fleet manager will certainly do so....been there, done that.
In my case, the First Officer was questioned...his question and reply...'did the Captain check...'yes, Sir was his reply.
He was absolutely correct.
Lockheed guys taught us...correctly.

IE: not rocket science, just old fashioned...following the rules.

Not especially difficult.
