Go around, thrust reduction altitude oei

Hi Ops_Room_Junkie,

What you have described is what we do before each approach using Computer software to calculate our OEI GA gradient using different flap settings and the latest Met data.

Since approach plates are now PANS OPS 4 there is no allowance for the level acceleration.

Some approaches may be impossible (e.g. NAP ILS Z RW 06) requires a gradient of about 5% to 7,000 ft. Others like ZRH may require a different DA.

I assumed everyone did the calculations either using computer software or paper tables like we did in the old days.
