On a lighter note, we can focus on the term "Steiggradienten".
The literal translation is "rise gradient", which could be interpreted as "rate of climb" for a given throttle setting, at a constant airspeed.
Answer 3 does deal with "Strecke" or "route or distance" traveled to sink 50 meters, but is incorrect.

What is the difference between an aviation training device (ATD) and a flight training device (FTD)?
An AATD is an Advanced Aircraft Training Device. It is the lowest qualified device by the FAA (think Redbird.) An AATD will have to simulate a cockpit of a specific aircraft. An FTD or Flight Training Device, will feature a full cockpit of the aircraft, reinforcing the proper muscle memory for training (think of a full motion sim - minus the motion.) FTD's ...
