Climb Gradient for Aircraft
Version 1.0.0 (16.1 KB) by

This application is designed for calculating climb gradients.
The climb gradient of an aircraft is a fundamental performance parameter, indicating the rate at which an aircraft can ascend vertically in relation to the horizontal distance it travels forward. It is typically expressed as a percentage or in feet per nautical mile (NM). Calculated by dividing the rate of climb by the groundspeed, this value is crucial for ensuring safe takeoff and departure procedures. Factors affecting climb gradient include aircraft weight, engine power, and air density. Pilots must consider and plan for the climb gradient to clear obstacles and meet regulatory requirements, using climb performance charts provided by aircraft manufacturers for guidance.
