![]() "Greg Esres" wrote in message ... He/she created their own problem by clearing you into conflicting traffic unless they can prove you deviated from your IFR clearance. Do you feel that it's ATC's responsibility to protect the route of the obstacle departure procedure, even when it's not included in the pilot's clearance and does not lie in his route of flight? Yes. It is my point that the ODP *is* included in an IFR departure clearance unless ATC issues explicit alternate departure instructions as part of the launch. Should ATC fail to protect for the ODP, the official statement on the controller's operational error recert package will likely include the sentance: "Primary cause: Controller A procedurally failed to maintain vertical separation prior to losing lateral separation." Even if it is ATC's responsibility do you not think it prudent of the pilot to keep ATC informed of what he intends to do, as part of the cooperative spirit? I agree with you. I believe that it can be clearly prudent for the pilot to keep ATC informed of what he intends to do, but within reason. I don't know that it is always reasonable for you to tell ATC that you are going to be flying the ODP though. The controller responsible for formulating your IFR clearance is supposed to be a specialist in his/her airspace. He/she should know if an ODP is an option when you depart. If that procedure is a threat to another IFR aircraft, then ATC needs to eliminate the traffic threat via alternate instructions or not clear you. Otherwise, your IFR clearance is flawed (and ATC's fault). Chip, ZTL |

Chip, ZTL I spoke with both the tower and the APPCON facility following an issue I experienced, and both held that an ODP needs to be requested by the pilot if not issued, and will never be recommended/suggested/alluded to/etc. I think that is a deathtrap waiting to happen, but who am I. fwiw. |

I agree with you and would like to know which ATC facilities feel this way. The ATC facilities with which I am familiar do NOT feel this way. Ron (EPM) (N5843Q, Mooney M20E) (CP, ASEL, ASES, IA) |

The APPCON controller involved may have received some "counseling" subsequent to my discussion with the supervisor about the whole thing. It was east of the Mississippi River, if that helps. Bob |

It was east of the Mississippi River, if that helps. If the problem has been taken care of, then fine. However, if the problem has not been taken care of, then it should be for all of our sakes. If you don't feel comfortable disclosing it here, please contact someone who can get the controllers properly trained. Scott Dunham is one such person. He participates in AVSIG (www.avsig.com) and, if you don't have it, I can get you an email address for him. You did say that this was an issue with both tower and TRACON controllers; and you imply that you are not sure about whether they have been retrained. Hence my concern about whether this problem will arise in the future to affect me or someone I care about. Ron (EPM) (N5843Q, Mooney M20E) (CP, ASEL, ASES, IA) |
