Non-radar procedures for RNAV/Conventional SIDS
Asked by: atcfinest 2201 views FAA Regulations
As a controller and pilot, I've found that a lot of controllers (and our procedures) don't speak pilot while a lot of pilots (even with the best intentions) don't speak controller. This being said, I'm curious what is being taught and how the general aviation world perceives the following situation:
Airport ABC is non-radar the day you need to file IFR to your destination. Airport ABC has SIDs that all say "RADAR REQUIRED". To be very specific, you are non-radar for the first few miles of the flight (until about 4,000 agl), then the back up radar site sees you - from which radar procedures/separation is then applied.
- Being the SIDs say "RADAR REQUIRED", how do you think ATC should clear you? (via the radials of the SID? no SID at all? etc..)
- Can an intermediate fixes be added between the ABC airport and the beginning of the SID, to clear you too as a clearance limit?
- KABC direct FIXXX direct BOBBB and the BOBBB1 departure
- FIXXX is the clearance limit fix so that you can climb into radar airspace
- Would airport ABC require separate non-radar procedures published for you to legally depart (part 91 as well as 121/135 - if anyone can answer that)?
Airport ABC uses standard takeoff minimums.
Thanks for your help and most of all, keep up the good work on your side. Most pilots do an excellent job and I thank you all for your professionalism and understanding.
