Another example that has me scratching my head is the BPK7F out of London Heathrow which has a published gradient of 4.0% to 4000 feet for air traffic management. I can see that there is a 4000 or above restriction based off of the 304 from the LON VOR and my very vague calculation puts that point approximately 10nm from the DER. Once again having done the calculations, I'm getting a 6.6% gradient required to actually achieve that.

I know that I am probably having another brain cloud moment, but if anyone has an explanation they could offer me I would be very grateful! Thank you in advance once again!
