What is the 40 1 rule in aviation?

The 40:1 surface is calculated out to 22.09 nautical miles from the runway end within an arc of 180° centered along the runway centerline extended. These requirements are part of FAR Part 77.23(a)(3). This is TERPS criteria. The standard aircraft departure climb gradient (CG) is 200 feet per nautical mile.

The 152 feet per NM is the 40:1 climb gradient. 1 NM = 6076 feet. 6076 / 40 = 152 feet per NM. If the calculated climb gradient is greater than 200 feet per nautical mile the airport departure minimums must be reviewed to determine if a climb gradient greater than 200 feet is published.

If a low turn is required, the minimum height above ground for turn initiation is the greater of 50' or one half of the wing span of the aircraft. The maximum allowable bank angle below 400' AGL is 15 degrees.

Most commercial airplanes have a certified maximum altitude of about 40,000 to 45,000 feet. Regardless of its certified maximum altitude, if an airplane flies too high, it may fail in one or more ways. For starters, the engine may suffocate from a lack of oxygen.

Full throttle may sometimes be needed for takeoff or a go-around, but not in normal flight. Likewise, one of the few times an automobile may need full throttle is when merging onto a high speed highway with speedier traffic.
