Departure End of the Runway
On an offset, when should you turn crosswind?

Initial
When should you not request high key?
-Aircraft between 5 and 2 nm on straight in
-Aircraft in between “REPORT HIGH KEY” and “REPORT LOW KEY”
-When an aircraft reports overhead the field direct to VFR entry (Honcho only)
-With an aircraft orbiting at high key
-With an aircraft in the high pattern
Aircrew may request direct high key from any pattern position under the following circumstances:
-No more than 3 (Honcho)/5(Wizard) aircraft in the pattern
-No one is on a breakout
-There are no aircraft between “REPORT HIGH KEY” and “REPORT LOW KEY”
-You state your position when making the request
-In Honcho’s pattern, remain clear of center runway ground track and associated airspace
If told “NEGATIVE HIGH KEY” after requesting direct high key what should you do?
Continue to fly the overhead pattern ground track.
Do Not Initiate Break from Initial under the following circumstances:
-With a traffic conflict on high, closed, low closed, or inside downwind
-With an aircraft between 5 and 2 NM on a straight in unless requesting break for practice breakout and will not perch unless directed
-With an aircraft between “Report High Key” and “Report Low Key” (except at wizard you may request break for practice breakout if the other aircraft is flying the ELP on the opposite side
-With an aircraft orbiting high key
Pilots wishing to go direct low key from initial will report _________
C/S, Initial for Low Key
Once approved direct low key from initial, what should you do?
After entering break, climb to 2,600 (2,500 at Wizard) and proceed to low key. Do not climb until you are in the break (turning climb)
