 |  Departure Procedures To piggyback on the entry procedures for an uncontrolled field, how about departure procedures? Example: Departing on Rwy 26 (westerly) and you desire to go North-bound (right-hand direction) [airport has standard left traffic pattern] ... Takeoff and then depart to the north, or make left-closed traffic while gaining altitude and cross midfeild, etc??? |

| Re: Departure Procedures The AIM recommends either staying on runway heading or turning 45 degress into the pattern until reaching pattern altitude and then turning on-course. I think I'd teach that. |

| Re: Departure Procedures In your case above, I'd make a straight out until out of the pattern area, then turn north... I try to use only 3 exits... A Straight out, as described above. A 45 degree exit (in the direction of the pattern) or a downwind departure, where I fly a normal pattern (don't climb above pattern altitude, you might hit a plane crossing at midfield above the pattern) and keep heading straight out on the downwind, and when clear of the normal pattern area, then turn on course and climb to my desired altitude (stay clear of the final approach area)... That's what I do and teach... it can pretty much get you out in any direction from any runway... |

[/ QUOTE ] this is the most correct procedure i have been taught & believe it follows the AIM recommendations. my vote is for these 3 ways. |
