Axl Kowalski...... forgive me for shouting but it appears to be required:

ALL TAKEOFF PERFORMANCE IS BASED ON ENGINE FAILURE AT VEF, YOU AIRLINE SOP IS DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS AND ILLEGAL
Now you can bring that statement to your airline standards department and see what they think! Just remind them that you are planning to clear any obstacles by 35 feet (net), if the Airbus software has increased the Min Acceleration Height to 529 feet rather than 400 feet, then this is the minimum height that you can accelerate and CLEAR THE OBSTACLE. In your case you will crash into the obstacle 94 feet below the peak.

Gotta love SOP's
