Just re-reading my post... Sorry, I do sound like an arsehole.

It's a bad habit I seem to fall into.

Sincerely,

Stacks

As per your request:

In order to meet the PANS-OPS requirement of 2.5% in the missed approach sector, the PIC shall calculate the revised approach minima in the event of an engine failure as follows:

Calculate climb gradient available based on OEI climb performance in the AFM/POH using - Gradient = Rate of Climb / Airspeed

Use formula Actual Gradient ÷ 2.5 = XX

Subtract MDA from Missed Approach altitude. The difference being ALT

Subtract XX from 1. The difference being YY.

Multiply ALT x YY. Add this value to the MDA

Example:

Tamworth. MDA = 2000, missed approach altitude = 3500. Actual climb gradient = 2%

XX = 2 / 2.5 = 0.8

ALT = 3500 – 2000 = 1500

YY = 1 – 0.8 = 0.2

ALT x YY = 1500 x 0.2 = 300

Revised approach minima = 2000 + 300 = 2300ft.
