(b) Rwy 26 Engine Out Escape Procedure (engine failure on takeoff):

In case of engine failure at or before DME2.0 DDN: Proceed towards radial

257 DDN. At radial 257/D2.0DDN, commence LEFT climbing turn towards
DDN VOR. Intercept and proceed on radial 254DDN. Continue climb to
5600feet to join the hold at DABGO.

In case of engine failure after D2.0 DDN: Turn LEFT towards DDN VOR.

hold at DABGO.

Note 1: In case of engine inoperative, Bank Angle not to exceed 15 deg until
speed more than V2+15 KIAS.
Note 2: During pre-flight, a way-point / fix is to be created for each DME point
to cater for DME failure.
Note 3: Do not go north of R-260 DDN during hold at DABGO (due
terrain).
