Enter the graph for Take-off Climb Gradient - One Engine
Inoperative at 15°C, 5650 feet pressure altitude, and 4850
pounds.
Climb
Gradient 2.1 %
Climb Speed 94 kts
A 2.1
% climb gradient is 21 feet of vertical height per 1000
feet of horizontal distance.
NOTE
The Climb
Gradient - One Engine Inoperative
graph assumes zero wind conditions. Climbing
into a headwind will result in higher angles of
climb, and hence,
better obstacle clearance
capabilities.
Calculation of horizontal distance to clear an obstacle 90
feet above the runway surface:
Horizontal
distance used to climb from 50 feet to 90 feet
= (90-50) (1000.;. 21) = 1905 feet
Total Distance =8071 + 1905 = 9976 feet
The above results are illustrated below:
