In the discussed emergency procedures, what is the term used for the altitude to climb to when instructed to proceed with emergency marshal instructions?

When an emergency marshal procedure is invoked, there is a specific climb target defined to ensure you’re high enough to safely carry out the required actions and maintain proper separation. That target altitude is called the Emergency Marshal Altitude. It’s named to reflect its purpose: it’s the designated altitude to reach while proceeding with emergency marshal instructions. This makes it distinct from normal cruise planning (cruise altitude), which isn’t tied to an emergency procedure, from minimum safe altitude, which is a general obstacle clearance reference, and from decision altitude, which relates to instrument approach decisions about continuing or aborting a landing. So the term most accurately describes the instruction you follow in that emergency context.
