9.15.6. Vertically clear all obstacles along the planned departure path with one engine
inoperative. If you are unable to comply with either alternative above, subtraction of 48
ft/nm (or 0.8%) from the published climb gradient is permissible for one-engine
inoperative performance planning if your MAJCOM allows it. Aircrews will not
subtract 24% from the published climb gradient under any circumstances.
9.15.6.1. WARNING: When using this method, it is important to understand that
you are removing all your safety margins that account for less than ideal conditions.
Aircrews shall use the published climb gradient as the basis for all computations
and will not use the prominent obstacles published on selected procedures to
recompute their own climb gradient.
