Initial Climbout Area(ICA) – From old post.

Asked by: 6284 views Instrument Rating

I went through an old post on why pilots should make initial turn at 400ft when departing out of airport.

 Excerpt from the old post by John.D was "Runways are evaluated for the initial climb area (ICA) out to 2 NM for obstacles along the centerline of the runway with a width of +/- 500 feet at the DER (departure end of the runway) to +/- 3756 feet at the two mile point from the DER." 

I was looking for this information in TERPs order, but was not able to find out the specific numbers as above.

If anyone is familiar with this topic, could you please point out the page number or even section number?

By the way, thanks so much for valuable answers you provided in the past, it is definitely helping me to extend my knowledge.

    FAAO 8260.3C, paragraph 14-1-6 is where you’ll find this information.

    Out of curiosity, what do you need it for?
