Narrative:
From the departure end of runway 07; it is approximately 1.5 nm to the 4 DME fix turning point. The procedure requires a 25 degree bank turn. If you lose an engine on takeoff; where do you accelerate to V2 + 15; when the profile is to climb at V2? And what altitude you are going to attain at that point? It seems that in order to accomplish this procedure; you will be extremely close to the ground with minimal or no altitude gain and likely to hit the obstacle(s) depicted.
