Does the APG SID Analyzer use AEO or OEI data to calculate climb performance?
The SID Analyzer uses AEO climb data if it is published by the aircraft manufacturer. This data helps determine the maximum takeoff weight required to meet TERPS/PANS-OPS minimum climb gradient requirements.
If AEO data is not published, the SID Analyzer defaults to using average OEI climb data from the takeoff flight path. This approach provides a conservative estimate of AEO performance, in line with FAA InFO 18014 guidance, which allows operators to use operator-prepared AEO data for compliance.
