Flanker - sorry to be awhile replying, I've been away. Its a while since I EDI'd, but I think from memory our ET for R06 is ................ out to sea and I would follow it, to answer your question, because it has been researched.

There seem to be a lot of people here who are prepared to make up their own procedures. That is extremely unwise. Required climb gradient is easily available for all SIDs; manufacturers will tell you what climb gradient you will achieve on the flight path selected, engine out; thus the need for an 'escape route' can be determined. If you do not like your company's procedures or do not understand them, do something about it! The ice is extremely thin if you start changing your mind on the day or 'doing your own thing'.
