Concur, and neither is the response...the procedures in AUS are RNP...
otherwise, the information is relevant...

Did you look at the FAA powerpoint?

AC120_91overview

This powerpoint distinctly describes the issues...

That landing wouldn't be legal because those gradients are way below the Approach Climb certification requirement of 2.1% (127ft/nm)
Again...

"EOPS do NOT need to meet TERPS requirements"

Look at it another way...on Final, for example a 737...
Approach: Vref is flaps 30, no thrust.
EO Missed climb: Stall is flaps 10...

How did one get from flaps 30 to flaps 10? What happened during those 35 seconds?
