Hello pilots,as i am learning the MD11 i was wondering where is the runway slope listed? Ive checked several ILS and airport charts and was not able to find anything that tells me what the runway slope is.Thanks in advanceLuis Massas

Hi Luis, looking at my Navigraph charts I can see the Rwy slope listed at the top right next to Rwy lenght and width. Charts differ so if you could post a screenshot of the charts your using maybe I could locate it for you. If you use TOPCAT the software will give you the rwy slope for the FMC, it is highly recomended if you want T/O and landing performance data.I should point out that runway slope is not modeled in FS, for that you would need to purchase another program called TSR Autobrake. Expensive hobby :)

Hello Luis,normally you can get the runway elevation from the airport charts (don't confuse this value with the airport elevation). You can also calculate it your own. Let's say one runway end has an elevation of 100ft and the other end of 90ft, you can subtract thiese values from each other, in this case:100 ft - 90 ft = 10 ft.Now take the runway length (normally avaialbe in most of the airport charts), i.e. 10.000ft. Devide the difference in elevation through the runway length and multiply with 100 and you have got the runway slope in percent.10 ft / 10.000 ft * 100 = 0.1 %Most of the free charts for U.S. airports have the runway slope indicated on the airport diagram. I wasn't able to find a value on a Jeppesen chart. So if you do not own a software like TOPCAT etc. you can calculate the runway slope with the method described above. Just make sure you are calculating in the right runway direction, else you'll get a negative value, although it should be positive.And as Rob has already mentioned. This value plays not a role in Flight Simulator, since only a few produtcs model runway slope. If you are using FS2004 this value is absolutely unnecessary.Kind regards,

Great explanation on how to calculate the slope. Thanks for your answers guys.Luis Massas
