Engine power vs climb in feet per minute?
Hello everyone.
New pilot here and I am playing around with a flight simulator game for the B737-800. I need some help understanding where/how one can find out if one has enough engine power to meet required climb gradient in feet per minute.
If an airport has a SID that requires, let's say, 1100 feet per minute climb how do I know that the power setting that I get from the OPT program is enough to give me that 1100 feet per minute? Where do I find that information? Is it in the OPT or is it in performance manuals and, if so, which performance manual? Please explain it in simple terms and with references. Thank you.
