NIL

VTUW  AD 2.22  FLIGHT PROCEDURES

1.  IFR DEPARTURES OTHER THAN VIA SID

IFR departure procedures described below are determined for the purpose of case when an instrument departure via SID is impossible or undesirable.

2.  VISUAL DEPARTURES

Visual departures during take-off and initial climb-out are permitted during the daytime and Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC). ATC clearance to execute a visual departure may be issued upon request of the pilot or upon initiative of the ATC and accepted
by the pilot.

To execute a visual departure

- meteorological conditions in the direction of take-off and the following climb-out shall enable visual reference to terrain up to Minimum Sector Altitude (MSA) or Minimum Flight Altitude (MFA) stated in ATC clearance,
- the pilot shall be responsible for obstacle clearance until such specified altitude,
- the pilot prior to take-off shall agree to execute this procedure,
- the ATC clearance shall be readback,

3.  OMNIDIRECTIONAL DEPARTURES

Omnidirectional departures during take-off and initial climb-out are permitted during the day and night. ATC clearance to execute
an omnidirectional departure may be issued upon request of the pilot or upon initiative of the ATC and accepted by the pilot.

To execute an omnidirectional departure:

- the pilot shall be maintaining a minimum climb gradient up to specific altitude as published shown as below,
- the pilot shall be responsible for adherence to such obtained ATC clearance,
- the pilot prior to take-off shall agree to execute this procedure,
- The ATC clearance shall be readback,
