Second segment gradients:

2 engine, 2.4% gross, 1.6% net.
4 engine, 3.0% gross, 2.0% net.

The gross is what's referred to as the "climb" limit. It is simply a density altitude limiting weight. Has nothing to do with obstacles. The net has to clear all obstacles in the takeoff flight path by at least 35 feet.
