What's with these notes about all the obstacles? If I can fly the
take-off minimums and/or fly the ODP (if specified, not in the example below), does such keep me clear of the noted obstacles? (I think the answer is yes, but then-- what's the point?) Or do I have to do all this pythagorea in my head? Thanks, John Clonts Temple, Texas N7NZ Example: KILLEEN, TX KILLEEN MUNI TAKE-OFF MINIMUMS: Rwy 19, 1300-2 or std. with a min. climb of 250' per NM to 2500. NOTE: Rwy 1, multiple poles, 317' to 759' from departure end of runway, 484' to 384' left of centerline, 48' AGL/ 865' MSL. Tree, 973' from departure end of runway, 100' left of centerline, 49' AGL/876' MSL. Building, 486' from departure end of runway, 10' right of centerline, 30' AGL/854' MSL. Antenna, 351' from departure end of runway, 277' right of runway, 28' AGL/852' MSL. Rwy 19, pole, 288' from departure end of runway, 558' right of centerline, 43' AGL/880' MSL. Building, 102' from departure end of runway, 411' right of centerline, 22' AGL/856' MSL. Road, 231' from departure end of runway, 498' right of centerline, 30' AGL/867' MSL. Pole, 256' from departure end of runway, 497' left of runway, 36' AGL/873' MSL. Building, 275' from departure end of runway, 442' left of runway, 36' AGL/ 859' MSL. Building, 298' from departure end of runway, 83' left of runway, 36' AGL/857' MSL. |

What's with these notes about all the obstacles? If I can fly the
take-off minimums and/or fly the ODP (if specified, not in the example below), does such keep me clear of the noted obstacles? (I think the answer is yes, but then-- what's the point?) Here's an explanation from the FAA's Instrument Procedures Handbook (http://av-info.faa.gov/terps/IPH.htm): Obstacles that are located within 1 NM of the DER [departure end of the runway] and penetrate the 40:1 OCS [obstacle clearance surface] are referred to as “low, close-in obstacles.” The standard ROC [required obstacle clearance] of 48 feet per NM to clear these obstacles would require a climb gradient greater than 200 feet per NM for a very short distance, only until the aircraft was 200 feet above the DER. To eliminate publishing an excessive climb gradient, the obstacle AGL/MSL height and location relative to the DER is noted in the Take-off Minimums and (OBSTACLE) Departure Procedures section of a given TPP booklet. The purpose of this note is to identify the obstacle and alert the pilot to the height and location of the obstacle so they can be avoided. |
