Departure Procedures

Question 1

What is the formula to find rate of climb?

Answer 1

(Ground Speed X CLIMB GRADIENT ) / 60 = RATE OF CLIMB

Question 2

Unless otherwise stated, instrument procedures use the standard IFR climb gradient of:

Answer 2

200 feet per nautical mile.

Question 3

Climb gradients are calculated using_____________, not feet per minute.

Answer 3

Climb gradients are calculated using feet per nautical mile, not feet per minute.

Question 4

ground speed: 120 knots,

what minimum indicated rate of climb must be maintained to meet the required climb rate (feet per NM) to 6,000 feet as specified on the instrument departure procedure?

Answer 4

The minimum climb is 385’ per NM. Using Legend 27, interpolate between 370 and 425. Find 370 in the climb gradient column and read right to GS 120 to find a climb rate of 745 FPM. At 425 the rate is 850 FPM. Using interpolation, calculate the climb rate to be 773 feet per minute.

Question 5

Do you have to have the extural description or the graphic depiction to use instrument departure procedure chart?

Answer 5

May possess either the textural description or the graphic depiction only.

Question 6

What does the thick line indicates?

Answer 6

basic instrument departure procedure terminate

Question 7

explain the follwoing

Answer 7

the VORTAC is listed as unusable between the 290 & 300 radials when beyond 35 NM and below 8,500’.
