Narrative:
There is a 618 ft tower located at or near eskog; a fix on runway 27R (or left) localizer. Our tps engine-out acceleration altitude is 640 ft for eastbound runways. I feel a modification to the engine-out altitude is in order to enhance safety in the event of reduced climb performance from the eastbound runways at phl.
