Just as a guess because I've seen similar restrictions at other USAF bases
and Pease used to be a USAF base, requiring aircraft to cross the departure
end (not the threshold) at or above 10AGL/105MSL allows a Diverse Vector

That extra ten feet is probably all that's needed to ensure obstacle
clearance for aircraft climbing at standard rate. It's a TERPS CYA.



You're right. That should read departure end.

But there are DVA's at other airports without the 10' note. I believe a
standard 35' AGL height is assumed.
