Departing into IMC from unsurveyed airport
Asked by: Matt C 2518 views Airspace, FAA Regulations, Instrument Rating
Are there any regulations or does the AIM have suggestions on how to depart part 91 IFR from an unsurveyed airport (no instrument approaches) into IMC?
After getting a release on the ground, you'd probably start in class G, then enter IMC either before or after entering class E. There won't be any ODPs because the airport hasn't been surveyed, but the pilot could safely roll his own ODP based on VMC experience.
Are there any rules about when to turn on course to the first fix in the cleared flight plan? Or does the pilot just do whatever is required to avoid terrain prior to the first fix in the flight plan?
Thanks,
Matt
