APG calculations

Hi folks


Is here anybody familiar with APG landing calculations ?
On landing chart you will find calculations for each rwy in the following format

LIMIT/CODE/MA Grad/LD Dist./1.67 LD/V ref/V app/VFTO

LIMIT - weight limit
CODE - limitations code for.ex ST - structural
MA Grad - this one I can't understand - for.ex for EPWA there is 12.1 for RWY33 . I have no idea what kind of gradient it is . On APP chart for RWY33 there is no any requirements for MA climb gradient . Do you know what it is ?
LD DIST - this is unfactored landing distance
1.67 LD - 1.67 landing distance - this is required for commercial operations ?
Vref - reference speed
Vapp - approach speed
VFTO- ??

btw. if there is no any specific minima gradient on SID chart - what is the minimum gradient then ?

Thank you
