How does APG optimize takeoff performance?

• Uses net flight path criteria to ensure regulatory compliance.
• Optimizes third segment level-off height to maximize takeoff weight.
• Tailors obstacle clearance based on aircraft-specific parameters like V2 speed, flap retraction altitude, and turn radius.
• Considers engine-out scenarios as a priority over noise abatement, ATC procedures, or standard SIDs/DPs.

If a special departure procedure aligns with a SID or ODP, APG ensures it still meets engine-out obstacle clearance requirements.
