Performance

Question 1

To determine a climb gradient from feet/nm to %, divide the ft/nm climb requirement by ___ to get %

Answer 1

60;

EX: 334 ft/nm climb requirement divided by 60 = 5.56%

Question 2

When reviewing an approach and there is a missed approach climb gradient requirement, there are two values to consider: ___ and ___

Answer 2

Approach gross climb gradient

Landing gross climb gradient

Question 3

Approach Gross Climb Gradient is predicated on:

1) ___-eng(s) operative
2) Engine(s) at ___ thrust
3) flaps in ___ configuration
4) Landing gear ___ (retracted or down)
5) Minimum climb gradient of ___ for 2E aircraft
6) max speed of ___ Vs

Answer 3

1) One engine (inop) - (i.e. single engine approach to SE missed approach)
2) Remaining engine at takeoff thrust
3) designated config for SE appch
4) retracted
5) min 2.1% climb gradient
6) 1.5 Vs
When SE missed approach after gear retracted and in go-around attitude with

Question 4

Landing Gross Climb Gradient is predicated on:
1) ___ engine(s) operating at ___ thrust available ___ sec after moving thrust levers
2) Flaps in the ___ configuration
3) Landing gear ___ (retracted or down)
4) min climb gradient of ___
Max speed of ___ Vs

Answer 4

1) all engine operating; 8 sec
2) landing config
3) down
4) 3.3% min
5) 1.3 Vs
It’s like a balked landing, power at idle at 50’ AGL. Max power applied and rotate to V bars - now in Ldg Climb config
