Title:
IFR Round-Table: Departure Procedures
Topic:
An in-depth discussion of nstrument departures from towered and untowered airports, including regulations.
Brief Description:
This event
is part of our IFR Roundtable series of discussion groups, where advanced and
novice IFR pilots share knowledge about particular aspects of instrument
flight. We focus on one small IFR procedure or topic area and spend some time
talking through challenges, definitions, techniques, and safety issues in that
topic area.
This session
topic: Instrument Departure Procedures. The majority of instrument training is
often spent on enroute and arrival procedures, but getting safely away from the
ground and into enroute protected airspace is critical. Operating low to the
ground in IMC in a climb is just as dangerous as instrument approaches to
minimums. A healthy understanding of instrument departure procedures is a
requirement of all safe instrument pilots.
In this
seminar we will focus entirely on departing. Presenter Brian Eliot will
introduce the topic, including departures from both towered and untowered
airports, and review regulations for takeoff minimums and required climb rates.
He will review some of the changes in terminology that have happened over the
years and the various places that departure procedure information is accessible
to pilots.

Center’s resident expert for IFR training and Garmin G1000 avionics. He has
