Narrative:

On the departure from hnd I was incorrectly maintaining 481 feet per minute or better instead of 481 feet per mile. The controller asked for best rate and I corrected the problem quickly by asking for a brief shuttle climb which he approved but he still indicated he got an altitude alert. My terrain system never showed us below 1;000 feet above the terrain. However; I recognize I did not comply with the departure procedure. I have since reviewed this procedure with a flight instructor and the routing which I correctly had and never deviated from but I did repeatedly verify with the controllers that I was on the correct 080 radial and connected to the correct airway. When I was handed off to la center; the controller indicated he was told I had trouble with the routing but I never deviated. In the future I will make sure that I get the right climb rate based on the per mile not per minute which will lower the concern when arriving or departing a new busy airspace like las vegas allowing me to be more confident of the routing as well.

Title: A C-182RG pilot departing HND was given a Terrain Alert by ATC when he improperly maintained his climb rate at or above 481 feet per minute; rather than the 481 feet per mile as required for terrain clearance.
