My operator SOP includes the use of reduced thrust takeoff out of OAKB.
S0d that. Max all the way. Our EO emergency departure procedure is pretty hairy, turns you right, and flies you between the saddle between the two "boobs" on the ridge line. On an average day with an average aircraft and a slow Copilot, I wouldn't want to risk it if I had suffered an early engine failure on departure. Don't know why the DP doesn't turn you left anyhow; big open plain vs a 1400' spot height.
I swear to god if it happened for real, VFR, we would go for the city, swing a right up the BAG valley.
All it would take is someone to forget to set max at engine failure and you are eating granite. Not fun. Our EO requires you set MAX upon suffering a single powerplant loss.
Does the A320 have a EO performance table and lateral plan for missed approach off the ILS? Seems to be our controlling perf issue.
