Hello Mutt

Nice to see what you guys are doing.

Now we are approved a 15 kts tailwind on a CAT I, this may well mean that at 2000 ft higher the wind is 25 kts.

A 2,5% WAT Go-Around (for me WAT = Still Air ?) might not cover me for obstacles. Are you telling me that you make an allowance for that?

As far as I understand the whole thing, the 2,5 % gradient is used to design the procedure and identify the limiting obstacles. As a result you can then come forward with a DA (DH) or MDA and MAP.

Thanks for clarifying that to me.

Cheers PUA

probably better to PM the fellow's ID - JT
