Old Smokey,
It was indeed a typo. And I agree with your valid points on climb gradients. Many are unaware of some of the finer points of EO performance (or lack thereof). A good thread.

.......Given further reflection and perusing of your post you've reminded me of some very important considerations. As I mentioned in my post, it's been a while since I was instructing newbies, and indeed some not so new, on this important subject. It's troubling that many operaters of FAR 23 and 25 aircraft don't accord with the benefits of tabulated data. All companies I've worked for have seen the benefit of it and indeed (please correct me if I'm wrong) it's a CASA requirement for RPT ops. In the absence of SIDS, properly designed EO procedures for every airfield departed are of great benefit, albeit absolutely essential.

A good refresher for all. Again, a most worthy thread.
Regards and Thanks

D
