The recent discussion highlights several important points -

(a) very few runways have only one potential (ie useable) escape path - most have multiple options

(b) different operators may choose different escapes paths - this will be driven largely by Type (different aircraft have different performance signatures - speeds and climb capability) and, perhaps, standardisation considerations across multiple fleets

(c) one must NEVER pinch someone else's procedure for one's own aircraft without doing all the sums for the latter to make sure that the procedure fits the particular aircraft and terrain profile
