Oh - and just to open the next can of worms...

...you don't belong to the "Imagination Failure Checklist"-group that use APG or FlugP for their perf and then continue on the SID after an engine failure, now do you?

Now, to get the Darwin-award, you need to have actually killed yourself - so that's a bit pre-emptive... I don't believe that you are in any statistically significant danger of killing yourself, given the limited number of airports where the issues raised here are an issue, combined with the excellent MTBF on modern turbofan engines Again, from a statistical POV only. If you actually were to have an engine fail at INN 26 and operated according to what you have suggested above, I have no doubt that you would meet an untimely end, sorry. Again, this is only my belief, and I cannot prove that some act of God mightn't save you...
