Takeoff Climb Gradient should be 3% at 100 KIAS, with gear DN and flaps TO (ie: 2nd Segment)
Did you mean gear UP?
Takeoff Climb Gradient - One engine inoperative
1. Inoperative propeller - Feathered
2. Power lever - Takeoff Power - Condition Lever - TOCL
3. Landing Gear - Down
4. Wing Flaps - T.O.
5. Climb Speed - 100 KIAS
6. Windshield and Engine Anti-Ice - OFF
This is comparable to the OEI climb in the first segment.
I shouldn't have said "2nd segment" - as you correctly infer, that commences at gear up.
Where I stepped on my dick is trying to equate the performance of a Conquest to a Transport category aircraft, especially since it's nearly 20 years since I did my ATPLs
All the above and preceding guff presupposes that the failure was initiated correctly and safely by the check pilot and then handled correctly and safely by the candidate.
...and it is pretty adventurous to even assume (at this point sitting in my kitchen 1000km from the accident site) that the accident was caused by any particular action by anyone on the aircraft, let alone that it was caused by specific actions by specific people.
...so I'll leave it at that.
