What are clearances designed to do?
Deconflict IFR aircraft in the NAS
What should you have prior to contacting clearance delivery?
Weather and ATIS Information Code
How should you readback a clearance?
In the same sequence it was given
Prior to an ITO, within how many degrees of runway heading should the heading indicator be?
5 Degrees
Once vectored off an ODP is it considered cancelled?
Yes. Assigned altitude must be higher than the MVA
Unless specified otherwise, obstacle clearance is based on the aircraft crossing the DER at least
35 feet above the DER
0 feet for USAF and USN
Before making an initial turn how high do you need to be in order to maintain obstacle clearance?
400 feet above the DER
To maintain obstacle clearance, what is the standard minimum climb gradient required until the minimum IFR altitude?
200 feet per nautical mile
ODPs can be published textually or graphically while SIDs are always published
graphically
4 Types of ODPs
ODPs make me nervous (NRVS)
N - Non Standard Takeoff Mins
R - RTRL (Reduced TO Rnwy Length)
V - VCOA (Visual Climb Over Airport)
S - Specific Routing
Which ODP requires you to takeoff prior to a specified distance from the end of the runway?
RTRL
Do SIDs provide obstacle clearance?
Yes, however they are not ODPs
If ATC issues an altitude during a SID do you continue to fly the lateral guidance and speeds?
Yes
If ATC vectors you off a SID, is the SID cancelled?
Yes
What is a Diverse Departure?
Turn whatever direction you want after reaching 400 feet above the DER and maintaining 200 feet per NM climb until min IFR altitude (must be AT LEAST 35 feet above DER at DER)
How far from the airfield is a Diverse Departure good for?
25 NM (non-mountainous)
46 NM (mountainous)
Does a diverse departure procedure clear aircraft from low close in obstacles from NOTAMs, Takeoff Minima and DPs?
No, conflicts must be identified individually
What is a Diverse Vector Area?
an area where ATC may provide random radar vectors during an uninterrupted climb from the departure runway until above MVA or min IFR altitude
Where can you find a DVA?
Trouble T section
Can DVAs have a higher climb gradient than 200 fpNM?
Yes it will be published
Do IFR DPs provide clearnace for low close in obstacle? (TAKEOFF OBSTACLE NOTES)
No. None do. Not even ODPs.
What are the 7 types of DPs?
DODMASS
Diverse Departure Area
ODPs
Diverse Vector Area
MAJCOM Specific Training
ATC Instructions
SIDs
Special Departures
Once vectored off an ODP, is it cancelled?
Yes. (Cannot be vectored until above the MVA/min IFR alt)
