Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Determine applicable standards for an instrument departure (non-SID/SRD)
   • Standard take-off minima are determined in accordance with the aerodrome using aeronautical information publication (AIP)
2. Departure is planned to ensure aircraft can maintain obstacle and terrain clearance after take-off and during climb to lowest safe altitude (LSALT)
3. Ceiling minima is increased and/or track is planned to ensure terrain clearance is maintained, as required
4. Take off and climb to cruising altitude/level under the IFR (non-SID/SRD)
   • Appropriate checklist items are completed and confirmed to ensure aircraft systems applicable to instrument take-off are operating correctly
5. Radios, navigation aids and flight instruments are set to desired setting prior to initiating take-off
6. Track, altitude requirements and emergency procedures are reviewed and briefed for an instrument departure
7. Climb to cruising altitude/level after take-off is achieved
8. Obstacle and terrain clearance is maintained below LSALT while intercept track is maintained within five nautical miles (nm) of departure aerodrome
9. Transitions from visual meteorological conditions (VMC) to actual or simulated instrument meteorological conditions are performed without loss of aircraft control
10. Radio transmissions are performed in accordance with AIP requirements
11. Separation from other traffic is maintained

Range Statement

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.
