And to make matters worse, the pilot has no way of knowing without direct knowledge. However, I have been told that any tower-issued pre-takeoff headings (which really are Departure Control generated) should comply with either an applicable ODP, or established radar diverse vector area criteria. Unfortunately, there have been plenty of holes in that system, so it behooves the pilot to be alert if a tower-issued pre-takeoff heading is at variance with a published ODP.

Had a strange thing happen to me today. I filed IFR HPN - HFD (White
Plains NY to Hartford CT). The route part of my clearance came back "radar vectors Carmel[VOR], V1, Hartford[VOR], Direct". Usually out of HPN I would expect to get the Westchester-1 departure, but it wasn't in my clearance, and I when I read back the clearance without it, I got "readback correct". Seemed a little strange, but I went with the flow (I should have asked for clarification, I'm not sure why I didn't). The turn in the SID took us away from our first fix, so I guess I figured they were just doing us a favor or something with a shorter routing. We took off and I started climbing straight out. The HPN-1 has an almost 180-degree turn almost immediately. The guy I was with asked me why I wasn't making the turn and I said we weren't on the SID. I asked tower and they said I should be on the SID. So, what went wrong? Did I goof? Am I supposed to fly the SID (not a DP) even though it's not in the clearance? Is it more likely that it was in the clearance but I just didn't hear it and the controller didn't notice that it wasn't in the readback? Since you were to be given radar vectors, and tower normally gives that first vector (or fly runway heading) you should have asked for the vector when cleared for takeoff. However, doing so was to help them (CD/Tower) fix their goof as one of them dropped the ball. Not your goof; but then the PIC is always the one that runs into the mountain - not "Them"... No Spam |

Well, only a reading of the ATC tapes would tell you whether the departure
a issue was in your clearance. If it was not, and it is the "100% drill" to get that departure, you should have sought clarification because you sensed a crack that you were possibly going to fall through. As to your distinction between SIDs and DPs, there isn't any in this country, at least not until they sign out a policy reinstating SIDs. There are Obstacle DPs and there are ATC DPs. Of course, some of the charts are old so they state "SID" on them. No one said it would be easy. ;-) Roy Smith wrote: Had a strange thing happen to me today.

Check the latest AIM...SIDs are back.

The route part of my clearance came back "radar vectors Carmel[VOR], V1, Hartford[VOR], Direct". Unless they made some major changes to the airway structure in the northeast recently, V1 does not go to HFD from CMK, V3 does.

I asked tower and they said I should be on the SID. Sounds like you were departing RWY 16, what vector did they issue prior to takeoff? So, what went wrong? Did I goof? Am I supposed to fly the SID (not a DP) even though it's not in the clearance? Is it more likely that it was in the clearance but I just didn't hear it and the controller didn't notice that it wasn't in the readback? Well, somebody goofed. Can't say for sure who it was without knowledge of standard procedures or hearing the tapes. You say it's unusual to not be issued the Westchester One departure, but you read the clearance back as issued and clearance delivery said it was correct. But since the clearance was "radar vectors Carmel" a heading should have been issued with the takeoff clearance. Was it? If one was not, and you weren't issued the departure procedure, you shoul have known something was amiss before taking the runway. |
