RFF available and in contact ✔️
ATC Clearance and contact with Dep on the ground for co ord✔️
CTAF broadcast ✔️

Takeoff on your cleared SID up to the usual 5,000’

Works at YMEN ok when the tower is closed at night....

MEL APP and CTR were still working fine, they can RV all inbound Aircraft clear of the takeoff path.

Whats the problem.

Completely agree with your statements, Tassy after tower hours (regular occurrence) PPP, BNA, AYE etc etc. Sadly I didn't have time for an OCTA/ML TIBA discussion with the company at that precise moment!

If I was fuel critical with no alternative I probably wouldn't have even asked, but whilst I had an option of a different airport I thought it might be prudent.
