Climb gradient when no restrictions

Featured Replies

In some older planes, eg. Dc-10, a climb gradient limitation is required in calculaction of take off and climbout performance. Question: is there a kind of default, minimum climb gradiet that should be assumed when charts does not specify one?

It would be great if anyone knows this problem and can assist.

Regards,

Kris

ICAO has a minimum procedure climb gradient and I believe that it is 3.3 percent -  starting from 5meters above the departure end of runway.

This basically the same as 200ft / nautical mile.

Not sure about FAA has other rules for the U.S.
