Hey guys. It was that time of year again for me. I am speaking of course of Instrument refresher class. A few interesting and often confusing topics came up and I was hoping for some insight from a professional line guy.
First, the " Trouble T" section for our theoritical rwy said "climb rwy hdg to 4000msl prior to making any turns." However, our ATC clearance said " on departure turn right 090 climb and maintain 6000. The question was, is ATC expecting us to remain on rwy hdg to 4k prior to turning because thats whats published in the "Trouble T" or is ATC expecting the turn at the standard IFR 400 AGL because this is now an ATC clearance and not part of a DP. The room was divided on this one.
New day, new jet. Trouble T section says our rwy requires 514ft/nm clb gradient to 3500msl. (We dont use published alternate t/o mins) Does this gradient apply to any type of departure for that rwy whether it be radar vector, SID, ODP? Assuming of course no separate clb gradient is published anywhere else.
Thanks in advance.
