Final segment climb speed.

Thats all the data posted which proves your net climb gradients clean when you take flaps up at V2+20.

Would you like any more data?

Send me any scenarios you wish run that you think change the manufacturers AFM.

Fact is, what most people do is not in the AFM and what I have suggested to you is exactly what the people that make the planes want us to do. There is a clear divide here - somewhere along the line the message has become confused and we no longer deal with any engine failure case other than the one that is most critical. It is correct that we plan for that but it is not correct to then degrade the flight path performance of the aircraft by not doing what the manufacturers say.

Almost all of us - me included until recently - have been doing it wrong because we have been taught badly.
