Chapter 4 Departure Charts
§4.1 Introduction
§4.2 Arrangement and Information of
Departure Charts
§4.3 Examples of Chart
§4.1 Introduction
The purpose of using departure charts are
• Provide a transition between the airport
and the enroute structure after take off
• Reduce frequency congestion, ensure
obstacle clearance
• Control the flow of traffic around an airport
• Reduce fuel consumption, and may
include noise abatement procedures
§4.2 Composition and
Information of Departure Charts
• Heading
• Plan View

§4.2.1 Heading
The heading of departure includes information
about date, communications, transition level
and transition altitude, departure
procedures naming and numbering.

§4.2.2.2 Navaid and Fixes
Departure routes are defined by various navigation
facilities in the area. Typically, the departure chart
shows all the navaids that define the route within the
plan view section of the chart.
Along the route, there may be designated locations
that provide a means for checking the progress of
the flight. These fixes may be defined by their
relative position to various navaid, as well as latitude
and longitude positioning.
Departure charts use a variety of symbols to depict the
different navigation facilities and fixes.
§4.2.2.3 Flight Tracks
Departure plan view includes graphic symbols that
portray the various tracks and transitions served by
the procedure.
• A bold-lined arrow indicates the SID track
• A bold dashed line represents transition tracks
If there are more than one transition procedures in a
departure chart, the names of transition procedures
should be denoted near the transition tracks.
Meanwhile, corresponding textual explanation
should be contained in the departure chart.
• A thin, real line with arrows represents VOR
Radials or NDB bearing
• A thin, curved line represents a DME arc. The
DME arc is not the real track. It can be used to
indicate the change of heading and altitude, or the
restriction line when turning. The unit “NM” is
labeled on the DME arc.
• If there is a route identification code near the
departure track, it means that the departure
track is a part of this route.
• A series of small arrows represents radar
vectoring .That means pilots could obtain
radar vectoring .
• Some textual description about SID track and
altitude information.
• When there are several departure
procedures in a chart, the SID names are
used near by the track to denote which
departure procedure the track belongs to.
Information about flight track and altitude of
the corresponding procedure can be found
in the table at the bottom or the plan view of
chart.

§4.2.2.4 Departure Elements
Textual descriptions about route and altitude
of departure often accompany the graphics
on the plan view of a chart.

Take-off
You may find “Take off” information in text in
the plan view, or in a table at the bottom of
the chart, labeled by “TAKE-OFF”
In some cases, instructions about take-off is
labeled with runway number of SID to
which they apply or aircraft types.
Some SIDs are so complex that there must
be a individual diagram to illustrate climb
procedures (infrequent).
When using such kind of SID, pilots should
follow the corresponding climb procedure.
When the aircraft get to the last fix, pilots
should fly following the SID procedures.
Climb
Unless specified otherwise, SIDs provide
obstacle clearance protection as long as
the aircraft:
• is 35 feet high as it crosses the departure
end of the runway
• dose not turn until reaching 400 feet
• climbs at least 200 feet per NM
Some SIDs require increased or unusual
aircraft performance characteristics to
ensure obstacle or terrain clearance
during the climb phase. In addition to
the climb and altitude instructions, notes
in the plan view specify a climb gradient
in feet per nautical mile.
When take-off, GS 200KT, take off from 24L,. Using
the climb gradient 205ˊ per NM to calculate the
corresponding climb rate should be 833ft/min. Keep
this rate and climb to 3100 feet.
Use the following formula to calculate climb rate
climb rate=(GS/60) ×climb gradient
Before climbing to the requiring altitude of
the SID, pilots must obey this climb
gradient strictly. Especially when meeting
bad weather, such as turbulence、icing,
it is very important to maintain this climb
gradient.
