Q
ODP (obstacle departure procedure) found on the airport page in jeppesen
A
Airports with specified IFR departure procedures are made on the basis of whether or not terrain and obstacles in the vicinity of the airport requires special restrictions. The airport is assed to see if it meets the minimum climb gradient for IFR aircraft. The assumption used to assess the minimum climb gradient are:
- after takeoff cross the departure end of the runway by at least 35’
- climb straight ahead to 400’ AGL prior to any turns
- maintain a climb gradient of at least 200’ per NM throughout the climb to a minimum IFR altitude for en-route operations

Q
SIDS (standard instrument departure)
A
- used by busy airports for traffic flow
- provides standard route from departure phase to en-route phase
- published and included with the approach charts (updated periodically)
- review entire DP may require higher climb outs
- SIDS simplify clearances, controller just says the name of the SID
- to accept a DP pilot must have a textual description inside the cockpit
- if you do not want a DP write no SID in remarks section of your filed flight plan

Q
ATC clearance: (under IFR)
A
- clearance is authorized to proceed in specific conditions in controlled airspace
- write down and read back clearances, DO NOT accept clearance that would break regulations or jeopardize the flight
- communicate with clearance delivery, or ground to receive clearance before starting engine
- clearance will contain:
C- clearance limit
R- route
A- altitude
F- frequency
T- transponder code
V- (void time) at controlled airport (30 minutes) you must depart and contact ATC before clearance void time in order for clearance to be valid - maintain instructions to climb and stay at altitude
- cruise conduct flight at any altitude from the minimum IFR altitude up to and including the altitude specified in the clearance. No request is necessary to climb, but need clearance to descend back down
