slope (runway slope)


Explanation:
Sé que ya cerraste la pregunta pero ten en cuenta que "longitudinal slope" si bien aparece, aunque sólo 17 veces, no es correcto. En aviación se llama simplemente "slope. Runway Slope es lo que se llama gradiente de pista.

Gradiente de pista es el témino utiizado en aviación para referirse a una pista y no pendiente longitudinal.

Hay algo importante que demuestra que la expresión "longitudinal slope" cuando se refiere a pistas es redundante. La pendiente de una pista siempre será longitudinal, no puede haber pendiente vertical en una pista, es decir que la pista sea inclinada, mejor dicho que tenga peralte. Ahí no aterrizaría ninguna aeronave, sería un suicidio pues el avión se voltea por el lado del declive. Aparecen 17 entradas de " runway longitudinal slope" muy pocas, ninguna de sitio reconocido y ninguna para "runway vertical slope" pues no existe gradiente vertical. En cambio " runway slope" hay 5.330 incluyendo páginas de la FAA. Cordial saludo
