ED Decision 2014/015/R

MISSED APPROACH GRADIENT

(a)     Where an aeroplane cannot achieve the missed approach gradient specified in AMC2 CAT.POL.A.225, when operating at or near maximum certificated landing mass and in engine-out conditions, the operator has the opportunity to propose an alternative means of compliance to the competent authority demonstrating that a missed approach can be executed safely taking into account appropriate mitigating measures.

(b)     The proposal for an alternative means of compliance may involve the following:

(1)     considerations to mass, altitude and temperature limitations and wind for the missed approach;

(2)     a proposal to increase the DA/H or MDA/H; and

(3)     a contingency procedure ensuring a safe route and avoiding obstacles.
