Ready for departure?

1. 1) Standard Instrument Departures (SIDs) are printed:

   SIDs are always printed graphically (with text descriptions in the graphical chart). Obstacle Departure Procedures, on the other hand, can be graphical or text only.

3. 3) For departure procedures, the 40:1 obstacle identification surface slopes up at the departure end of the runway at ________.

   That's right, it slopes up at 152 feet per nautical mile.

4. 4) You're flying an obstacle departure procedure that requires a minimum climb gradient of 400 FPNM. If your ground speed in the climb is 150 knots, what climb rate do you need to maintain?

   If you're flying 150 knots ground speed, you're covering 2.5 miles per minute (150/60 = 2.5). So if you multiply 400 FPNM x 2.5, you get a climb rate of 1000 FPM.

5. 5) Required obstacle clearance for all departures is based on you crossing the departure end of the runway at least ____ feet above the departure end of the runway.

   Yep, it's 35 feet, which isn't very high if you're at the departure end of the runway.

   You need to climb to at least 400 feet before you turn in any direction, unless a DP says otherwise.
