From: various places .....
with a 3.3 % requirement you might have the safe choice

A big ask. Unless the sums have been done beforehand, or the weights are very light, the gradient capability mismatch OEI/AEO might put the aircraft in harm's way.

All this should emphasise the need for adequate OEI escape planning ... this stuff usually is quite incompatible with winging it on the fly.
