Define the term "Climb gradient":
-
A
The gradient, calculated by “Rate of climb” divided by “Time”.
-
B
The ratio, calculated by “Change in height” multiplied by “Time” (in seconds).
-
C
“Rate of climb” in ft/min or m/s.
-
D
The ratio, in the same units, and expressed as a percentage of “Change in height” divided by “Horizontal air distance travelled”.
Climb Gradient is the ratio, in the same units of measurement, expressed as a percentage, as obtained from the formula:
- Climb Gradient (%) = (Change in Height / Horizontal Air Distance) x 100%
Climb gradients are measured relative to the air mass and therefore are unaffected by headwind or tailwind.
