(11-202V3, pdf 116)
The required climb performance
What is 200 feet/NM or the published climb gradient, whichever is higher (11-202V3, pdf 118)
This tells pilots that a departure procedure exists.
What is the Trouble T symbol
(11-202V3, pdf 120)
The five ODP options
What is

2) Specific Routing
3) VCOA
4) RTRL
5) Any combinations of the above
(11-202-V3, pdf 119)
What is a MAJCOM-Certified Departure
(11-202V3, pdf 139)
MAF aircraft use this when weather is below the lowest compatible approach minimums
What is a departure alternate?
(11-202V3, pdf 116)
Minimum turn altitude
What is 400 feet above the departure end elevation unless required by a published procedure or ATC (11-202V3, pdf 118)
The 40:1 Obstacle Identification surface is this
152 feet/NM
(11-202V3, pdf 121)
What is
-follow the lateral profile of the SID
-comply with altitude restrictions while climbing to the SID top altitude
(11-202V3, pdf 134)
This allows multi-engine aircraft to increase their takeoff gross weight while providing escape routing in the event of an engine failure
What is a Special Departure Procedure
(11-202V3, pdf 139)
To minimize exposure to thunderstorm hazards, do this when approaching or departing an airport in an area where thunderstorms are occurring or forecast.
What is attempt to maintain VMC, maintain at least 5NMs separation from heavy rain showers, and avoid areas of high lightening potential?
These are the four contingency procedures to account for one engine inoperative
What are
1) SDP
2) Non-standard takeoff minimums to vertically or laterally clear all obstacles
3) Published climb gradient or 200 feet/NM (whichever is higher) with OEI
4) Reduce climb gradient by 48 feet/NM to 152 feet/NM (mission justifies the risk & extensive preflight planning)
These are the distances for the diverse departure obstacle assessment
What is 25NM for non-mountainous areas and 46NM for designated mountainous areas
(11-202V3, pdf 122)
Pilot actions on a VCOA
What is
-remain within the published visibility distance
-not exceed radius from the center of the airfield while climbing to the specified altitude
-will visually identify the obstacles throughout the climb
(11-202V3, pdf 126)
Do not apply wind drift corrections to this
What is specific ATC departure instructions
(11-202V3, pdf 131)
Operational Visibility Minimums and Remarks
What is 1000 (300m) with two operating RVR with minimum 1000 (300m) on both and runway centerline lighting is operational
What is
USAF / USN = 0’
ICAO / NATO = 16’
FAA / USA = 0’-35’
The difference between diverse and ICAO omnidirectional departures
What is the omnidirectional departure may be published even with OIS penetrations
(11-202V3, pdf 123)
This procedure requires the aircraft to lift off the runway at or prior to a specified distance from the DER
What is a reduced takeoff runway length procedure
(11-202V3, pdf 129)
This method allows radar vectors to be used in lieu of an ODP at some locations where an ODP has been established.
What is a diverse vector area?
(11-202V3, pdf 130)
A suitable departure alternate within two hours flying time for aircraft with 3 or more engines
What is weather that is at least 500-1 above the lowest compatible published approach minimums, but not less than 600-2 for a precision approach or 800-2 for a non-precision approach, and forecast to remain so for 1 hour after ETA at the alternate?
This is where the departure Climb gradient begins (old and new)
What is 0’ above the DER elevation under current TERPS criteria; many procedures developed under the old TERPS criteria still have an unpublished DER crossing restriction of 35’
(11-202V3, pdf 119)
This may require a minimum climb gradient of more than 200 feet/NM to a specified altitude before turns are permitted
What is an ICAO omnidirectional departure
(11-202V3, pdf 123)
Pilots will not fly a SID without this.
What is an ATC clearance?
(11-202V3, pdf 132)When flying specific ATC departure instructions the PIC is in charge of this.
