Devil Ergghhh, 2.5% equals what?

FlightPathOBN
As you noted, the criteria nominal climb gradient of 2.5%.
This is a gross climb rate of about 227 feet per nm.
The net climb is about 167 feet per nm.
A thousand years and a couple of lives ago, the net climb for 2.5% was always quoted as 152 ft/nm. When did the nm grow another 600 feet?

Stay Alive,
