OB324: No Approach Means No ODP

Episode 324 Show Notes 

 

Topic of the show: On this week’s show, AG and RH discuss the risks associated with departing from a non towered airport without a published instrument approach procedure.  What should every pilot understand about the departure?  How will they maintain terrain and obstruction clearance?  Can ATC provide them with an IFR clearance if they depart VFR but are below the minimum vectoring altitude?  We discuss this complex issue and many more of your aviation questions and feedback.  You don’t want to miss this episode.
