Just got this dug out -
Assuming engine failure at V1 and maintaining V2 or not exceeding V2+15 (TAS of say 170KTS) for a given weight/wind/temp, the distance that can be covered in 10 minutes would be (170/60)x 10 = 28NM
This is the obstacle range considered for 'straight ahead'. If we can't meet it we construct an ET/EOSID.
We consider obstacles in the takeoff path for both straight ahead and whenever there is a turn requirement.
We consider obstacles from end of runway along the Engine Failure Procedure(EFP) path up to the approach fix or holding point.
We have EFP on all runways, either standard (straight ahead) or non-standard EFPs (ET/EOSID).
What do you have?
An engine failure once established in the SID, is something the 'pilot(s)' should be prepared for...until enroute MSA (say)?
