Yet another takeoff segments thread
Hi all,
So I have been brushing off the ol' class A performance stuff, and have managed to confuse myself.
So, second segment is 2,4% for a twin, which is the gross gradient.
If somebody were to ask you: What is the minimum NET gradient a twin engined aircraft needs to achieve in the second segment? In this case, is it 1.6%? (2.4-0.8 correction)
And so, for obstacle clearance considerations, the NET flight path has to clear obstacles by 35ft, does this mean we assume a slope of 1.6%, which clears all obstacles by 35ft?
