Founder !
Does anyone have a smart simple way to calculate the climbgradient?
for example, will you clear an obstacle at 5000m that is 500 ft with a climbgradient of 5%? how do you calculate this?
to make things easier...and leave all those feet conversion behind and answer your question directly :
5% gradient gives you
50m / 1 km . at 5000m distance your height will be 5 x 50m = 250m hence you will clear the obstacle by 100 m
