Don't worry Ramrod, youre not Robinson Carusoe there.
Thanks John T. Fabulous info and history there. Particulalrly of major interest is where you say does 20.7.1b meet the requirements of the FAR. It really is incredible stuff what you are saying.
I guess I still fly knowing that with an engine out, and because of appropriate sim training, I can fly away knowing I can meet the gradients and get to a safety height. You may be interested to know that up to about 13000lb the performance requirements out of YMEN are met fairly comfortably - but above 13,000, they drop off dramatically and we are limited to 08/26 and often having to use STODAs to get the gradient requirements.
