HoratioWondersocks Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hello Some clarity needed on this. If I was taking off using runway 27 as an example would departure straight out mean takeoff and carrying on a heading of 270°? Would a departure to the east (w.s.n.)using the same runway(27) mean a turn to the east (w.s.n.)shortly after takeoff. Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Andy A straight out departure typically means you stay within the limits of ±15 degrees heading from the centre line of the runway.. So after takeoff any heading between 255(270-15) and 285(270+15) is a straight out departure Sent from my Micromax A311 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottb613 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hi Folks, Sounds like you have it - Andy. Usually - directions of travel such as this would pertain to VFR flights at Delta's and Uncontrolled fields... Typically at a Charlie and above - with approach and departure in use - you're going to get an assigned heading both VFR and IFR... At a Delta when VFR they usually want you to give the tower a direction of travel before taking the runway - when IFR they will assign a heading... When self announcing at uncontrolled fields it's a good idea as well - so people know what your doing - "Orange County Traffic - Cessna 12345 taking off 03 departing to the North - Orange County"...
