11-202V3 AETCSUP CH 5

Question 1

Departure Weather requirements

Answer 1

Do not take off when existing weather is below the lowest compatible approach mins

Question 2

Standard IFR departure climb gradient

Answer 2

3.3% or 200 feet per NM

Question 3

What alt can you do an IFR turn off T/O?

Answer 3

Min turn alt is 400 above DER elevation, unless required by a published procedure or ATC

Question 4

What do published or ATC climb gradients not account for?

Answer 4

Low close-in obstacles

Question 5

Types of IFR Departure Methods

Answer 5

1. Diverse Departure
2. Obstacle Departure Procedure
   a. Non-Standard TO mins
   b. Specific Routing
   c. Visual climb over the airport (VCOA)
   d. Reduced Takeoff Runway Length
3. Diverse Vector Area
4. ATC Specific
5. SID

Question 6

TERPS DER crossing restriction (Current)

Answer 6

0ft

Question 7

What does the “Trouble T” mean?

Answer 7

Notifies the pilot that departure procedures exist

Question 8

ODP Departure Definition

Answer 8

IFR departure procedures specifically designed for obstacle avoidance

Question 9

Diverse Departure Definition

Answer 9

Acceptable IFR departure method for a runway if no obstacles, other than low close-in obstacles penetrate the 40:1 OIS

Question 10

Do Low Close-in obstacles alone constitute an ODP?

Answer 10

No

Question 11

Can you fly a Diverse Departure with the “Trouble T”

Answer 11

No

Question 12

Diverse Departure obstacle assessment area is limited to ___ NM or ____ NM in mountains

Answer 12

25 NM/ 46 NM

Question 13

Diverse Sector Departure Def

Answer 13

Allow diverse departures within specific sector requirements

Question 14

When are Non-standard IFR Takeoff Minimums published?

Answer 14

pilot to see and avoid obstacles penetrate the 40:1 OIS within 3 SM from the DER

Question 15

Visual Climb Over Airport(VCOA) Def

Answer 15

IFR departure done under VMC over the airfield to published climb-to altitude

Question 16

Can Pilots construct their own VCOA?

Answer 16

No

Question 17

Can you fly VCOA at night?

Answer 17

No

Question 18

When is Reduced Takeoff Runway Length (RTRL) used?

Answer 18

Obstacles penetrate the OIS by 35 ft or less, the procedure designer will limit TORA to achieve 200 ft/NM

Question 19

Diverse Vector Area (DVA) Definition

Answer 19

Allows radar vectors to be used in lieu of an ODP at locations where ODP has been established.

Question 20

Specific ATC Departure Instructions Definition

Answer 20

Include heading and altitude (not considered radar vectors) do not apply wind drift corrections

Question 21

SID Definition

Answer 21

Departure procedure established at certain airfields to simplify clearance delivery procedures and assist in capacity and ATC requirements.

Question 22

On SID if ATC issues new altitude restriction…

Answer 22

all previously issued altitude restrictions are cancelled, including those published on the SID.

• Comply with speed and lateral restrictions

Question 23

ATC issues you “Climb Via SID” After Vectors…

Answer 23

Reinstates the SID after issuing vectors, comply with published vertical/lateral nav and speed.
