Q

What is a Hold For Release?

A

You cannot take off until ATC specifically releases you

  • ATC may ask you to report when holding short of the RWY so they can reevaluate your hold for release

Q

What is a Clearance Void Time?

A

Your IFR clearance will be voided if you are not off the ground by a specified void time

  • May be given when departing a Non-Towered airport
  • You must notify ATC as soon as it becomes evident that you wont be off by your void time

Q

What is a Diverse Vector Area (DVA)?

A

AIM 5-2-9

Areas in which ATC may provide random radar vectors during a climb out.
DVAs provide obstacle and terrain clearance in lieu of a SID or ODP, but only after the controller begins the radar vectors

  • This is due to the minimum climb gradient being met in all directions up to MOCA/MEA
  • The DVA will be listed on the 10-9 or in the TPP
  • DVAs MAY require MORE than the standard 200ft per NM climb gradient and will be stated if so.

Q

How do you determine if Takeoff Minimums are NOT standard?

A

A ‘T’ inside of a triangle will appear on the IAP notes section.

You will just have to check the mins always, for Jepp charts

**its important to check IAPs for the departure RWY before leaving

A

AIM 5-2-9

  1. Check if an ODP is available

Q

If an ODP is published for your departure RWY, are you required to follow it?

A

No

If a part 91 pilot is not given a clearance containing on ODP, SID, or radar vectors and an ODP exists compliance is not mandatory.

**its a good idea to fly the ODP anyways

Q

What are the IFR Take Off Minimums?

A

Part 91 - NONE

Everyone else
- Prescribed T/O mins for specific RWY
- 1 or 2 engines = 1 SM Viz
- More than 2 engines = 1/2 SM viz

18
Q

Describe what the different triangles in an IAPs note section mean

A

T = Non-Standard T/O or departure mins
A = Non-standard IFR alternate Mins
A NA = Alternate Minimums Not-Authorized

19
Q

What 3 items make up the Standard IFR Departure Criteria?

A

AIM 5-2-9

  1. Crossing the departure end of RWY (DER) at least 35ft above elevation
  2. Climbing to 400ft above DER before any turn
  3. Min climb gradient of 200ft per NM or as specified

*and the aircraft is functioning normally

20
Q

When planning for an IFR departure, how will you determine and convert your required climb gradient from ft per NM to FPM?

A

There are two options: the 2nd is preferred because it wont required interpolation.

  1. Use the chart found in the digital Terminal Procedures Supplement
  2. GS/60 x Required Gradient = FPM required
21
Q

What is an ODP?

A

Obstacle Departure Procedure: A type of IFR departure procedure designed to provide obstacle/terrain clearance

  1. ATC clearance is NOT required to fly an ODP
  2. Printed Textually or Graphically
22
Q

What is an IFR Departure Procedure (DP)?

A

A procedure designed to provide aircraft with obstruction/terrain clearance from the RWY to the enroute environment

23
Q

Who is responsible for determining if an ODP should be flown?

A

The pilot in command should determine if an ODP should be flown, especially if not assigned by ATC instruction.

*its a good idea to fly an ODP anytime one is available under IFR.

24
Q

What is a SID?

A

Standard Instrument Departure - A type of departure procedure that includes detailed graphical information guiding aircraft from the airport to the enroute environment with obstacle/terrain clearance
1. Requires ATC clearance
2. Primary goal is to reduce workload
3. Usually published at busier airports
4. Increases capacity of terminal areas

  • there are 3 types: Radar Vector, RNAV, and Pilot Nav
25
Q

What is a a Transition Route?

A

They are routes designed to allow aircraft depart a SID or join an Arrival procedure.
- Each SID/Arrival may have multiple
Transition Routes attached to it to allow for
aircraft to connect to the SID/Arrival from
multiple locations

26
Q

What are the 3 types of SIDs?

A

Radar Vector SIDs - Radar vectoring will be required to join the SID after departure

Pilot-Nav SIDs - Pilot is able to navigate along the entire SID without any ATC instruction

RNAV SID - GPS and IFR RNAV capabilities required, pilot can fly these without ATC instruction

27
Q

What could it mean if there is no Departure Procedure for your departure RWY?

A

Then the area around the RWY is likely a Diverse Vectoring Area.

A diverse vectoring area exists when the 40:1 climb gradient can be achieved in all directions from the departure end of a RWY

28
Q

How would you brief a Departure Procedure?

A
  1. Airport & name of departure, verify RWY
  2. Chart date/number
  3. Initial climb Section for your RWY and aircraft type (propeller)
  4. Route, brief all aspects of the route, altitudes, speeds, HDGs.
  5. Remarks.
29
Q

With Jeppesen charts, where will you find important departure information such as, RWY length, lighting, alternate minimums, T/O minimums?

A

Jeppesen charts list all of that information in one place: the 10-9 page (taxi route page).

30
Q

How will you decide whether or not to use a DP, and if needed, how will you decide which one to use?

A

Do I need a DP?
1. Can I safely take off in VFR?
2. Are there obstacles/terrain nearby?

Which DP do I choose to flight plan with?
1. Check direction of your route to destination
2. What is available, SIDs or ODPs?

31
Q

What action should you take if you wish not to be assigned a DP?

A

Write ‘No DP’ in the remarks section of your flight plan.

32
Q

Are part 91 operators required to follow the minimum IFR climb gradients?

A

AIM 5-2-9

NO, but you SHOULD for safety

33
Q

Are part 91 operators required to comply with departure procedures?

A

AIM 5-2-9

NO, but you SHOULD for safety

34
Q

How will you determine if you are able to depart and remain clear of obstacles and terrain? (5 things)

A

AIM 5-2-9

  1. Consider the height and direction of terrain or obstacles
  2. Follow an ODP, SID, or VCOA
  3. Do you have adequate visibility to visually remain clear of obstacles?
  4. How will an engine out, or High Density Altitude effect your climb performance
  5. Determine your expected rate of climb
35
Q

What does it likely mean if a DP requires a greater than standard climb gradient?

A

There is likely terrain or obstacles nearby

36
Q

What does it mean if there are no DPs published for an airport or RWY? (assuming there are IAPs)

A

The airport meets Diverse Departure Criteria, and a takeoff can be made safely in any direction provided you follow basic IFR Departure Criteria standards

37
Q

What speed is the standard 200ft per NM climb gradient based off of?

A

Ground speed

38
Q

When ATC has issued a climb or descent, (and not said ‘at your discretion’) what standard performance is expected of you?

A

A climb/descent at the aircrafts optimal rate until within 1000ft, then achieve at least 500-1500 FPM.

39
Q

What is a VCOA?

A

Visual Climb Over Airport

  • Purpose: To avoid obstacles within 3nm of the airport as an alternative to meeting greater than standard climb-out gradients
  • Require you to circle and climb over the airport to the published VCOA altitude, before proceeding with the IFR portion of the DP (ODP, SID)
  • Must be able to reach the VCOA altitude while in VMC!

*Found in TPP or on Graphic ODPs

40
Q

While performing an ODP, ATC vectors you off the ODP. What happens?

A

AIM 5-2-9

  1. ODP clearance is canceled
  2. ATC now assumes responsibility for obstacle clearance
41
Q

When flying an ODP, when is it appropriate to transition from a Vy (best rate) to a Cruise Climb speed?

A

Flight Insight ODP Video

Upon reaching the top altitude listed on the ODP. Always make best climb speed on a Departure procedure climb out.

42
Q

When reading an ODP in textual format, what would it mean if you saw “thence…” at the end of the instructions?

A

King Schools ODP Video

It means that you would then follow your ATC cleared routing
