Spawn To Takeoff - Departing The Airspace

Ground School Community Tutorials
1

Hey everyone!

Here is this week’s tutorial where I explain the procedures from the time you spawn, to requesting takeoff, and the different types of takeoff clearances that the Tower Controller may issue.

I know that most of you may already know and follow proper procedures, but we also have to understand that there are a lot of newer members that are still learning. This is a great tutorial that explains the procedures to our newer members and a great refresher for our veterans.

Feel free to ask any questions or leave any comments below!

Happy and Safe Landings!

Hey Mark. When you fly a straight-out departure, how long do you need to fly until you can turn?

Usually depends on the airport I’m departing @Henrik but usually around 1000 ft AGL. If on a parallel runway like at SFO, before turning, you want to make sure there is no conflict with aircraft that may have taken off on 28R. Maintain +/- 500 ft from other aircraft while under VFR.

Buddy, Joe is one of the heads of IFATC he can do what he wants. Callin him a nimrod isn’t such a good idea 😐
