Should I fly the Special Departure Procedure (EOP) instead during a missed approach?
Many operators recommend flying the engine-out departure procedure (EOP) as the missed approach path in the event of an engine failure. This is because:
EOPs are specifically designed to ensure obstacle clearance with one-engine inoperative.
They are based on actual aircraft performance and airport-specific terrain/obstacle data
However, keep in mind:
-The EOP typically begins at the departure end of the runway, not the missed approach point (MAP).
-You may need to navigate back toward the runway end before initiating the EOP.
