Axl,

You said:

"That's for a runway with an elevation of 1548' AMSL as per chart. It says that your min acc height should be 529'. My airline uses 400' as the standard acc height for almost all runways, including this particular one, so the acc altitude in this case would be 1.950', as per airline SOP. That's of course below what the RTOW charts says it should be (2.077'). Not much but still."

Now you say:

"We do not use this charts, we use LPC NG, I just wanted to gain some knowledge beyond what the FCOM says about the RTOW charts, that's all. We have tailor made EO SIDs for all runways that need one. EO ACC ALT is 1500' AFE for most of the runways we operate, some special runways have their own AA, always higher than 1500' AFE."

If you are using LPC NG why does you're FCOM talk about RTOW charts at all? We use LPC NG and my FCOM only talks about LPC NG.

Something does not sit right with the question you asked! However, hopefully you may of now informed your airline what they are / were doing is dangerous.
