Well, that area is not really a gradient that has been added, it part of the inverted aircraft image that was used to make the reflection.

Here is the aircraft with a duplicate layer that has been rotated and flipped to serve as the reflection layer.

Notice that the green arrow points to the dark horizon line of the original layer.

The yellow arrow points to the same dark horizon of the reflection layer.

Now when the blur effect is added, the dark horizon (yellow arrow) now appears to look like a added gradient to the reflection layer, but it's not.
