Hi all,

Think i just figured out the answer to my question

Vmco = Minumum climb out speed (Guaranteed obstacle clearance)

Vmca2 = Vmca for 2 engine out

Obviously it wants to get to Vmco so it can guarentee an obstacle clearance of 2.5% in the missed approach scenario.

Still the height loss that can be experienced at high operating weights in this aircraft will essentially put you on the ground from a CAT I ILS DH.

Cheers,

Spaceman
