Would that be true for higher than standard missed approach climb gradient?ie 2.5% and above?
No. The AFM addresses the Design Standard WAT climb requirements only. Higher gradients required for operations are an operator responsibility. If a pilot's operator doesn't address such things then one should do something about it.
I was referring to AC91-79 and SAFO 06012 which was not disseminated
Clearly, I can't speak for what any given operator not in my ambit may do. However, it has always been the case that the Industry is responsible for keeping abreast of the rules .. while noting that the FAA may well send out documents from time to time. When I was in routine consultancy practice, keeping the AC library up to date was one of the routine admin pains.
I have yet to be introduced to safo 06012 and this revised AC
I'm a little confused. If you knew of the existence of these documents but haven't been provided them by your airline AND you consider them important .. why haven't you perhaps sourced them simply and directly on the net ?
SAFOs are available from the
FAA website.
In particular the specific SAFO you seek (2006 vintage) is at
this location.
The AC (2007 vintage) is available at
this site.
.. or have I missed something along the way, perhaps ?
