Regulation: Minimum height for turn after takeoff??
Good Day All,
What's the minimum height (by regulation) at which we can start a turn after takeoff ?
Ex: Out of an airport where there are no SID. "XXX You are clear for takeoff rwy 36, when airborne turn right HDG 090° climb 6000 Ft, report maintaining"
(There are no company procedure, no obstacles, no specific a/c perfo and no airmanship consideration)
Most of the time, when I ask to a colleague the answer is 400 Ft.
(But I'm afraid their answers are: 1) Preconditioned by my company procedure, and 2) The 400 Ft climb for SID's design criteria (DOC 8168)
In the back of my head, I have a much much much lower value....
Would this height be related to certain conditions: VMC/IMC - VFR/IFR - (Class A/B or Large/Small) aircraft - General/Commercial Ops ?
Thanks,
