Hi JT,

I don't think that either Mutt or I have any problem with reduced protected areas predicated on modern RNAV capabilities.
Our A319/20s have recently had their Engine Out Strategy changed at Naples RW24. Initially it was very restrictive due obstacles straight ahead on departure, the new OEI strategy is to make an early turn to avoid them and to fly through the "saddle".

The sophisticated RNAV OEI routing is in the secondary flight plan, but this can't be engaged unless the PNF made several key strokes into the FMGC just as the work load peaked. However the "Yellow Track Line" of the OEI is displayed on the MAP which can be followed simply by using the Heading Selection initially.

So it's still down to crew's prioritisation of the tasks and intelligent use of the equipment.
