A quote from an official document including chapter + paragraph, perhaps?

Vilas, all the documents I have seen, including
"getting to grips with aircraft performance" show climb gradient requirements as a
CONSTANT flight path, not an average one over a certain distance.
So a "7 % climb gradient to 3600 ft" is NOT the same as "cross 8,465 DME at 3600 ft or above" (= average climb gradient of 7 %)
Once again: I do not mind to be corrected on this, but until you come up with a
verifiable trustworthy source I respectfully dare to say that you are just
wrong!
