When an obstacle is to be cleared, on the basis of an extended second segment climb: A) It can be any obstacle in the take-off flight path B) It must be the first obstacle in the take-off flight path C) There must be a minimum acceleration/climb gradient capability of 3.2% at all points in the take-off flight path above 400' gross height D) There must be a minimum acceleration/climb gradient capability of 1.5% at all points in the take-off flight path above 400' gross height.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about regulations or performance criteria related to clearing obstacles during the second segment climb of an aircraft after takeoff. It presents multiple-choice options that refer to different conditions that define how obstacles can be managed in this context.
Answer
There must be a minimum acceleration/climb gradient capability of 1.5% at all points in the take-off flight path above 400' gross height.
There must be a minimum acceleration/climb gradient capability of 1.5% at all points in the take-off flight path above 400' gross height.
Answer for screen readers
There must be a minimum acceleration/climb gradient capability of 1.5% at all points in the take-off flight path above 400' gross height.
More Information
In aviation, particularly during takeoff, it's crucial to have sufficient climb gradient to clear obstacles safely, even when an aircraft loses an engine.
