Working on my instrument rating, so this video is right on time lol!

Love your content!!!

I was looking at the DP for Placerville KPVF on a route to Reno just this weekend thinking it’d be interesting for you to do a video on. Too late!

Can anyone tell me why he is climbing to 400ft above before turning. Where does it stipulate?

[@gonetoearth2588]

i would love to see a series where you fly these procedure with a G1000 or similar with an HSI

[@JustSayN2O]

agree

What happens (Please cite any FARs) when my SID or ODP ends at an altitude lower than the MEA/MOCA of the airway I intend to join. Example, the North Town 5 at KVGT (NOTWN5.LAS) ends at 7000' and I want to continue on V394 southbound (MEA 9000'). {I know the procedure says at or above, but let us assume that the best climb I could get only got me to 7000'.} Bigger picture, how to get on an airway after takeoff with a really high MEA if the ODP and SID do not allow enough time to climb. An answer might be found in FAH 8083-16B at the bottom of page 2-35 (2-27 for VFR), but I would like something more official and clear. When does "Takeoff from an airport" end? 25 miles? 46 miles? Initial cruising altitude? Surprisingly, there is very little to no information about how to actually get onto an airway at the correct/legal altitude from takeoff. Might make a good video?

"You can fly an odp without atc clearance" No matter how much I look I cannot get this sentence explained.

ODP - Obstacle Departure Procedure. If you are IFR you will be given a clearance, and that clearance may or may not include the ODP. Part 91 is _NOT_ required to fly the ODP if not assigned by ATC. And if you are VFR you can fly whatever you like if not in controlled airspace. However, you can also choose to fly the ODP even if not given that instruction by ATC, because it guarantees obstacle clearance. If IFR and you are not assigned the ODP, you can still fly it as ATC either a) excepts you to or b) unless given other instructions you need to depart under your own plan until radar contact. As a general rule if departing a non-towered airport you should check to see what the recommended climb / takeoff requirements and ODP are. As part 91 we are not required to follow them, but it only makes sense.
