It is almost impossible to have one standard Aa (see post #8), but it IS possible to have one which covers 95% of your company’s operations. However, it is not so much the Aa which should concern the average pilot, but rather – what do you do when you reach it? I have known one company which had one series of actions on a normal take-off, another series if you lost an engine on T/O, another if you had a ‘normal’ Go Around and yet a fourth if it was a 1EO G/A. The last thing you want – no, the last thing I want in an emergency is to have to analyse which scenario fits which series of actions if it is not really necessary. Fortunately some airlines for which I instruct have standardized the actions to cover all these cases and this makes life much simpler all round.
