So unless the airfield brief allows us to use the 4.0%, we must choose the higher 2.5% DA
Dont forget the vis that goes with it....

Also the last time I flew there, I remember the captain saying in the cruise, can you check the MACG table for 4.0% against our est LW and OAT at FUE. I did and we were below the Limiting weight so we selected the lower DA. I.e. The 4.0
Always a good idea to check,but figure should be about the same as on the loadsheet unless you saved loads of fuel,by that i mean its better to know your expected climb restrictions before you take off in case dispatch guys were snoozing...
