Climb Requirements when alt not specified
When no gradient is specified on a SID Terps uses 3.3% min climb gradient, but to what altitude? 2500 rang a bell, but I can't find it. I have also read that you have to be able to climb up to the MEA.
Also, when a greater than standard gradient is published and no altitude is, than what altitude is that gradient required to be maintained?
Lastly what is the standard gradient for accepting a sid under Pans-ops/JAR ops?
Thanks.
