It is exactly FAA, and does a very good job of describing the criteria and many of the common misconceptions of obstacle clearance...

This is a fantastic explanation (and what I have been through as a certified RNP procedure designer) of the inconsistencies and misconceptions in the criteria, as well as the 1940's foundation.

This slide is one of the most relevant, (at 26:30) that I must keep trying to explain to pilots , procedure designers, and others, that departures and missed approach are designed all engine, and that engine out is NOT considered in the procedure design criteria, and as shown in the slide, that OE obstacle clearance is NOT covered in the procedures. (before you go crazy, note that IF the EO surface has been reviewed, through an exception, it may be shown on the plate)


note just as important, in using the DEP performance, that the criteria uses a linear, not a segmented path as shown in the cert...
