March 19, 20197 yr Quick rule of thumb: multiply your groundspeed in knots by the gradient in % and that will give you the rate of climb (or descent) you require. E.g. 5% gradient at 150kt = 750fpm. Simon Kelsey
March 21, 20197 yr Author how is it calculated climb desent angel?) Edited March 21, 20197 yr by niksan29
March 21, 20197 yr In the flight deck or theoretically? For a rough rule of thumb, gradient in % × 0.6 will approximate the angle. If you want an exact answer then you would need to get your calculator out and do some trigonometry 😉 Simon Kelsey
