  Chapter 4: Approaches › Missed Approach

  RNAV (GPS) waypoint. Obstacles or terrain in the missed approach segment may require a steeper climb gradient than the standard 200 ft/NM. If a steeper climb gradient is required, a note is published on the approach chart plan view with ... penetration description and examples of the required FPM rate of climb for a given groundspeed (future charting uses climb gradient). An alternative is normally charted that allows using the standard climb gradient. [Figure 4-25] In this example…

  high climb gradients. [Figure 7-12] The OCS used to evaluate the missed approach is a 20:1 inclined plane. This surface is twice as steep for the helicopter as the OCS used to evaluate the airplane missed approach segment ... helicopter climb gradient is, therefore, required to be double that of the airplane’s required missed approach climb gradient. A minimum climb gradient of at least 400 ft/NM is required unless a higher gradient is published on the approach chart…

A climb gradient of at least 200 feet per nautical mile is required, (except for Copter approaches, where a climb ... least 400 feet per nautical mile is required), unless a higher climb gradient is published in the notes section of the approach procedure chart. When higher than standard climb gradients are specified, the end point of the non-standard climb…

When a climb gradient is required for a specific departure, it is vital that pilots fully understand the performance of their aircraft and determine if it can comply with the required climb.

Compliance with a climb gradient for these purposes is mandatory when the procedure ... specified only to an altitude/fix, above which the normal gradient applies. An ATC-required altitude restriction published at a fix, will not have an associated climb gradient published with that restriction. Pilots are expected to determine if crossing altitudes…
