The original slope was 2.5 degrees,with the advent of Cat2,3degrees adopted as standard..
US anti- noise advocates,at one time suggested 6degree slopes intercepting 3 degrees at 1000'--thrown out by the industry as too cumbersome(power on at intercept/dirty)
Remember a 90 degree 'slope gives you the least rollout!!!
