STANDARD INSTRUMENT DEPARTURES

IIn continuing the theme of the previous exercise (SIMULATED HUH 25 & WC 34 APPROACHES), this exercise consists of a series of “Standard Instrument Departures” where, again, the goal is to take a written description of a specified instrument flight procedure—consisting of little more than a sequential description of headings, altitudes, and speeds—and translate this into an actual flight-sequence profile.  At their core, Standard Instrument Departures (or “SIDs”) are designed—like any published departure procedure—to provide the pilot with a safe routing around unseen terrain in instrument conditions (IMC).  Adherence to the procedure is critical.  The written descriptions below therefore serve to develop this skill of “procedure adherence.”  The SIDs below are of three groups, the first of which simply requires instrument flight in accordance with prescribed altitudes and headings; the second group concerns the additional requirement to intercept and track prescribed radio navigation routings; and the third group provides for holds over navigation aids in the vicinity of Langley Airport.  If you have been assigned a SID for the departure on a training flight, you would be advised to sketch out a “plan view” of the sequence, including notations on headings, altitudes, and speeds, so that this sketch can be readily referred to during the actual flying under the hood.  Be sure to calculate the minimum climb gradient required to complete the manoeuvre, which should be converted to the “feet-per-minute” climb performance of your aircraft given ambient wind conditions.  The conversion table appears in the Canada Air Pilot:1

 

All altitudes are ASL unless indicated.
