SLC2.TCH Departure Climb Gradient??

First off these are the Weather Conditions i used for Wednesday@10:40am:
OAT@4227: 19
OAT@7800: 14
OAT@8300: 13
Weight: 3650
Wind: LTVB

Secondly, these are the Seminole Calculations i used for Wednesday@10:40am:
Climb Performance One Engine Operating Gear Up:
@4227: 50'/min
Climb Performance Both Engines Operating Gear Up:
@4227: 1000'/min
@7800: 750'/min
@8300: 625'/min

For departing runway 17 it states: minimum climb of 260' per NM to 6000. then with minimum climb of 400' per NM to 8300. (depending direction)

-YES we can do this departure with both engines operating because we meet the climb gradient minimums, but NOT on one engine.


For departing runway 35 it states: minimum climb of 260' per NM to 7800. then with minimum climb of 260' per NM to 7800, ATC climb of 340' per NMto 7500. (depending direction)

-YES we can do this departure with both engines operating because we meet the climb gradient minimums, but NOT on one engine.

  1. Hey Kyle, I think you are mixing two different figures here. You are using ft/min on the climb performance data, but you are using ft/nm in the climb gradient information. I think that you need to make one figure equal another and that's what the big assignment was. Here's the equation I found (GS/60)*ft/nm= ft/min.
