I understand that the ACT annotation is in the process of being removed from SID procedures. Until this annotation is removed, I would like clarity on the ATC annotation protocol in addition to what is published in the AIM.
Reference TRALR FOUR DEPARTURE (KLAS) Las Vegas Mc Carron
Regarding the ATC annotation at ROPPR: If ATC wants you to be at or below 7000 at ROPPR, how is this phrased in the ATC clearance?
My understanding is that the ATC annotation is part of the SID clearance unless stated/amended otherwise by ATC. Such as “…cleared to ABC airport, TRALR Four departure, etc….”. In this example, ATC made no mention to cross ROPPR at a different altitude. Am I correct?
If ATC wanted you cross ROPPR at a different altitude, clearance by ATC would have to specifically state the specific altitude: “…..cleared to ABC airport, TRALR Four departure, cross ROPPR at 6000, etc…..”. Am I correct?
Any feedback is always appreciated.
Regards,
Dan
