How do you get from the DP to the nearest Victor airway safely when it's 300 and 1? One way: Depart Rwy 28; cross the end at least 35'AGL; climb at least at 200 ft/nm until the MEA. It seems like a straight forward DP to me. What is it that is confusing to you? (And I won't get into the lack of a legal requirement for most Part 91 flights).

I have not seen anyone directly answer the question raised by the
poster. What exactly is 'on-course'? Which airway are you supposed to intercept? MSA may not be operational in nature, but it does tell us there are 3200' ft obstacles within 25NM. If you proceed at 2300', how can you remain clear of these obstacles? "Bob Gardner" wrote in : You may be remembering some Canadian regs. The MSA is irrelevant. It has no operational significance and is not part of an instrument approach procedure. Under Part 91, you don't have any takeoff minimums. If you are really concerned, climb over the departure airport until you feel comfortable in proceeding. Bob Gardner "Journeyman" wrote in message . .. On the way to Pinckneyville last weekend, I stopped at Jimmy Stewart Field, Indiana, PA. KIDI. I had to shoot the GPS 28 approach with a cirle to land 10. There's a nice transition off the Revloc VOR. Since we had a late start, we had planned to stop there for the night, but by the time we left for the hotel, the overcast had broken up and it was clear. Next morning, we left VFR. Looking at the plates, 10/28 has minima 300-1 and 600-1 respectively. The procedure for runwya 10 is to climb runway heading to 2300 before proceeding on course. The MSA for the area is 4200. How do you get from the DP to the nearest Victor airway safely when it's 300 and 1? Morris |

I don't have the charts in front of me right now, but, as I recall, there is no instruction to "proceed at 2300'". And the manner of flying a DP is to continue climb at 200 ft/nm until at the MEA. The airway you are supposed to intercept is the one to which you have been cleared. "On Course" for the rwy10 DP (if that's the one with the climb to 2300' instruction) means the direct route from the point at which you attain 2300' to the closest point on the airway to which you have been cleared. For the other runway, it would be after attaining 400' AGL. And you should not hit obstacles because these routes with the restrictions cited in the DP's have been checked for obstacle clearance.

Under 91 there are no takeoff minimums (unless specifically stated in a
departure procedure) for any size aircraft, including a 747. "Ron Rosenfeld" wrote in message ...

That is where judgement comes into play. You can legally takeoff with only enough viz to see the centerline. Is that smart?? Maybe. All depends on the circumstances. :-) Matt |

I just reviewed 91.175 and a Part 91 operation isn't included in the takeoff minimums section. Matt |

: Good point. In other words, the aircraft should climb on runway heading to 2300', and then turn to any heading and continue climbing at 200ft/NM to the minimum IFR altitude.

MSA may not be operational in nature, but it does tell us there are 3200' ft obstacles within 25NM. If you proceed at 2300', how can you remain clear of these obstacles? How do you infer that you can proceed at 2,300 feet? That is a turn restriction to avoid the antennas to the south. It is NOT a level off altitude. With a ODP worded like this your minimum level-off altitude is either your ATC-assigned altitude, which should be (will be if issued correctly) at, or above, the MEA of the route to be flown. It's up to you, as the pilot, to fit the ODP with your filed or clearance route. This ODP is 40:1 clear once above close-in obstacles. Apparently the procedures specialist decided the close in obstacles were too hazardous to be overflown with a climb gradient, thus the ceiling and visibility minimums. Although Part 91 operators are not required to use takeoff minimums anyone who ignores mandatory ceiling/visibility minimums (as opposed to standard takeoff minimums) can be placing himself in harm's way, especially at an airport where he lacks detailed local knowledge about the airport and close-in obstacle hazards. A case in point quite a few years ago was at KLGB (Long Beach, California). At about 3:00 AM a guy taxis out in an Aztec and wants a climb to on-top because the weather is basically zero-zero in ground fog. He wanted Runway 16L, which had a 600-1 mandatory (for commercial operators) take-off minimum. The controller tried to convince the pilot to instead use Runway 30, the ILS runway with standard takeoff minima (actually, lower-than-standard for commercial operators because of lots of runway markings and lights). The pilot got his way and shortly after takeoff at about 500 feet, above airport elevation, he crashed into a giant natural gas steel structure, then, in a burning remains of an Aztec nose-dived into a warehouse, through the roof onto the concrete floor. I remember it well, because I did some work on that needless, senseless tragedy. The 600-1 takeoff minimum for Runway 16L was for the natural gas storage tank and associated steel structure. |
