We have performance that says follow the SID unless there is a turn published.UK JAR operator.
Now,for example, the Dean Cross SID off Edinburgh 06 requires I believe an 8% gradient to 5000 ft, the 25 mile MSA being 3500 to the north where the SID turns.Two miles off the end of 06 is the North Sea, which I know is flat!In a 737 what would you do?
