Instrument Procedures - Departures: DGCA Air Regulations questions
Instrument departures protect you from obstacles between lift-off and the en-route structure. PANS-OPS decides how you climb, when you may turn and what a published track requires of you.
This short set of 13 questions is almost all definitions and fixed values: straight and turning departures, the departure end of the runway (DER), the obstacle identification surface (OIS), the procedure design gradient and the minimum sector altitude. Exam sessions have featured 3 of these departure items.
Keep two gradients apart. The procedure design gradient belongs to departures, and the missed approach uses its own, lower figure. The margin above obstacles starts small at the DER and grows with distance flown.
