Lear's ASE LINDZ DP and Climb Gradient

[scubabri]

Ok, something is not making sense to me. I thought I knew this. For you lear drivers, what chart are you looking at to make sure you can make the climb gradient out of ASE?

I thought it was the 2nd segment climb chart, but now I'm not sure.

Think about what constitutes "second segment." I can see where you're coming from...gear retraction until clear of obstacles. In some cases, you might have to look at a second segment profile until climbing out of the surrounding terrain, in others, you can use a different profile (eg, higher speed, etc) and still have adequate performance.

There are several ways you can derive that information, but you can always determine your rate of climb on both one and two engines for your weight and environmental conditions, then convert it to climb gradient on the jepp scale or NACO chart in each volume. Jepp doesn't put theirs in each volume, but it's in your first binder.

We've discussed this before,you're not required to make the DP gradient with one engine out.

SB,

I'll point you to a thread that contains some excellent posts by 'Sled on this subject: http://forums.flightinfo.com/showthread.php?t=48430&highlight=gradient. He is 100% correct in what he says and has explained it far better than I probably ever could. Anyway, read what 'Sled wrote... it'll do ya good.

I didn't mean to throw a wet towel on this discussion.

Scubabri...
When it comes to places like Aspen, you need to pay close attention to all of the charts, including the one that most guys never look at - the Approach Climb Chart. That's the one that sneaks up on a lot of guys, especially when they're flying in a bunch of people and trying to carry extra fuel.
