SIDs are based on track guidance acquired:

a) within (20) km (10.8 NM) from the departure end of the runway (DER) on straight departures; and
b) within (10) km (5.4 NM) after completion of turns on departures requiring turns.

Track guidance may be provided by a suitably located facility (VOR or NDB) or by RNAV

Question 9

When a departure route requires a turn of more than (…)°, it is called a turning departure.

Answer 9

When a departure route requires a turn of more than (15)°, it is called a turning departure.

Question 10

The design of an instrument departure procedure is, in general, dictated by (…).

Answer 10

The design of an instrument departure procedure is, in general, dictated by (the terrain surrounding the aerodrome).

Question 11

Answer 11

For a turning departure, turns may be specified at a(n) (fix, facilit or altitude/height (all answers) )

Question 12

An omnidirectional departure is a departure in (…)

Answer 12

An omnidirectional departure is a departure in (any direction)

Question 13

Answer 13

If there is a restriction in an omnidirectional departure, it will be given in (bearing and distance).

Question 14

Omnidirectional departures are applied when (…).

Answer 14

Omnidirectional departures are applied when (no suitable navigation aid is available)​.

Question 15

The SID terminates at (…).
