in the regulatory sense, can we plan to fly an approach above max approach climb limiting weight if instead of the published GA we plan for EOSID ?
Umm, hang on. I seem to have forgotten the performance basics, but wouldn't that leave you in dire straits should the engine actually fail?

Wouldn't that make it something like taking off from an airport with a higher than standard (normal) SID climb gradient and planning to depart using the EOSID just to increase the payload?
