Scenario:

  • Rwy 36
  • Clearance (No DP used):  after take-off turn left heading 210, climb to 2000 ft, expect 4000 ft after….    
  • The Obstacle Departure Procedure lists obstacles at various locations around the airport, but no obstacle is higher than 150 ft AGL
  • Ceiling: 300 ft

Question: at what altitude the turn to heading 210 can be initiated and what is the reference for the answer (AIMs or..)?

    The standard is to climb to 400 AGL then turn. If there is a DP, the pilot has the option of first following the DP, then turn. If there is any confusion, sort it out with ATC before you depart. This is based on TERPS and guidance for controllers in 7110.65. DP’s and ODP are discussed in the AIM 5-2-8.
