Airport DepartureProgressing through all the steps (check-in, baggage check, and security) can take several hours. Be sure to arrive at the airport with plenty of time to complete all of the steps required to board your flight.For international travel, it is wise to arrive at the airport 3 hours prior to departure (2 hours for domestic travel). International flights often start boarding 45 minutes to 1 hour prior to the departure time to account for.

This includes requests for donations. From the Instrument Procedures Handbook:ODPs are not assigned by ATC unless absolutely necessary to achieve aircraft separation. It is the pilot’s responsibility to determine if there is an ODP published for that airport. If a Part 91 pilot is not given a clearance containing an ODP, SID, or radar vectors and an ODP exists, compliance with such a procedure is the pilot’s choice. A graphic ODP may also be filed in an instrument flight plan by using the computer code included in the procedure title. As a technique, the pilot may enter “will depart (airport) (runway) via textual ODP” in the remarks section of the flight plan.
Providing this information to the controller clarifies the intentions of the pilot and helps prevent a potential pilot/controller misunderstanding. If the ODP is not included in the pilot’s clearance, the pilot should inform ATC when an ODP is used for departure from a runway so that ATC can ensure appropriate traffic separation. What's the scenario? Usually I get a clearance like 'upon entering controlled airspace fly heading XYZ' or alternately 'Cleared to XYZ via ABC VOR.In the first case it's pretty clear - once you hit class E airspace, comply with that instruction. In the second case it's up to you how you get to that VOR, once you're there you fly that assigned clearance.Before you hit the start of your clearance (a given VIA point, or alternately 'upon entering controlled airspace') they don't care what you do. I know this comment is two weeks old, but just found it doing some research and trying to answer a similar question of my own.In the first case it's pretty clear - once you hit class E airspace, comply with that instruction.Is that true even when there is an ODP?
My understanding is that you have the freedom (and would be wise) to fly an ODP through to completion, except if ATC issues you radar vectors. This is really more a question for one of the controllers on here who thoroughly grasps 7110.65.That said, 'upon entering controlled airspace do XYZ' is an instruction you must comply with literally. It says upon entering controlled airspace. If they wanted you to fly a heading after reaching given altitude or point on an ODP they would have phrased the instruction as such.This instruction is usually given when ATC has traffic or something else to worry about. The heading will take you away from prominent terrain or obstructions.
There's a reason they're giving you this instruction instead of a SID or ODP. If a SID or ODP exists and you wish to fly it, you're welcome to negotiate it, but you have to ask.
This isn't 'cleared via XYZ' where you can decide how to get to XYX (such as an ODP). This is an instruction to follow immediately upon entering controlled airspace, as it says. Failure to do so could potentially lead to a loss of traffic separation, for instance.They don't have to have you radar identified to issue you a heading on departure. Places I've gotten instructions like this tend to be flat areas like KPVC. By the time you're at 700AGL (controlled airspace) you're well clear of any obstacles. In less flat places, you would probably be given a DP to fly if one exists, or 'cleared via XYZ' where you can then choose how to get to XYZ such as via a published ODP.If in doubt, always ask. If you are not flying a SID it is always an ODP, right?
There is no 'non-SID non-ODP' departure, its either. Even if there is not a published ODP, you are flying an ODP. If a CFII knows better, please correct me.If you do not get a SID clearance you are expected to fly published ODP. If there is no published ODP you will be instructed to do something. For example climb runway heading 3000 feet, which is now your ODP. There is no way ATC will just clear you to do whatever you like or give you a route discontinuity, which means there should really be no circumstance you would need to tell ATC what you are doing.
They will tell you. A diverse departure in the US exsists when an airport had no instrument approach in, therefore no departure procedure out. They still allow you to depart IMC, but there is no set route between departure and the first fix. You could fly out 10 miles before you turn, you could fly half a mile and turn.
A diverse departure guaruntees no obstacle protection, it's just a term to describe how you get from takeoff to the first fix. Obviously this is unsafe, but it's legal.My question relates more to an ODP that isn't diverse (FAA/TERPS has created a route from takeoff to the ending fix) and that isn't assigned (ATC most likely will, but not always assign you an ODP) that you fly voluntarily.ATC can clear you to the destination or clearance limit without giving you a assigned departure.
When they do this, the end of the departure route doesn't always end on the beginning of the clearance fix.(this can happen) My question was how do you travel between the end of the departure procedure to the beginning of the cleared route?. The first point in your clearance is always an implied direct unless you are given any other instruction.
But rather than saying 'cleared direct ABC', they just say 'via ABC'. So you would fly via ODP by default (since it is published) to RATTS then direct ABC. It all makes sense.A more interesting scenario would be if RATTS is the opposite direction of where you are going, then you could coordinate with ATC to see if they can accommodate something for you. Otherwise if you are in visual contact with terrain you can maintain your own terrain clearance and fly direct ABC. But if you are not flying a published ODP you should notify them so you avoid conflicting with other traffic. This is dangerously incorrect. Let's say you're departing Reno-Stead (KRTS).If ATC says 'Cleared to SFO via FMG, V6, SAC.'
That is an entirely different clearance than 'Cleared to SFO direct FMG, V6, SAC'. (You might well get the former, you would absolutely never get the latter). You might however get something like 'Cleared to SFO, on departure fly runway heading, expect radar vectors direct FMG, V6, SAC.' Or similar.In the first case 'Cleared to SFO via FMG', it means you can get to FMG however you want. You can make some turny climbs, fly an ODP, whatever. In the second case, 'Cleared to SFO, direct FMG' it means as soon as practical after takeoff, you turn direct FMG.
This would not give you the required TERPS clearance for the hills to the southwest of the airport, and if you don't understand the difference, it could well kill you.' Direct ABC' and 'Via ABC' are totally different instructions. If ATC says 'Cleared to SFO via FMG, V6, SAC.' That is an entirely different clearance than 'Cleared to SFO direct FMG, V6, SAC'. 'Direct ABC' and 'Via ABC' are totally different instructions.These two are -exactly- the same clearance and imply the same thing, although the second one is using incorrect phraseology. I will edit in a reference from the 7110 when I find it. In this context they are absolutely the same instruction.
They are not giving you an immediate 'direct' like you would imply, they are giving you a conditional direct to reach the first point in your flight plan, be it with 'Runway heading on departure, expect vectors' or 'ODP' or turn in visual reference with terrain.And to add, ATC cannot expect you to make a turn below the minimum safe altitude/height. It is implied that you will perform whatever ODP or visual maneuver required to get to ABC.Edit: The 7110 is too big for the energy I have at the moment. I'll see if I can find it tomorrow. But either way we are basically on the same side of the argument here. When you get the clearance you fly however you need to get there. They of course can never issue you a direct below MVA or MIA or whatever obstacle clearance is relevant.
So in no way should it be 'dangerous' to think of it as a conditional direct, because if you fly into known terrain because ATC said so you really are not fit to hold a certificate.
