JetThePilot,

The minima will take into account obstacles in the approach zone and also of the height loss after go-around.

A possible scenario that I alluded to earlier in the thread that I have heard no evidence to disprove, is the scenario that occurred in Melbourne. On an approach a decision to go around is hampered by not selecting the TOGA detent, the aircraft will continue descending at the same rate possibly with MCT power & the gear retracting. The acceleration would be significant.
