WCollins, you're right, of course. But I find the course of this discussion somewhat interesting. Evo and FFF both thought the departure was legal, but weren't completely sure. IO540 thought it couldn't be an IFR departure because you couldn't do one at a small airfield, was corrected by various people and then Chilli Monster set them straight. Flyin'Dutch' said a VFR departure was not legal. Surely that amounts to some confusion?
And these aren't people that just post any old junk. These names, and your own, make posts which I tend to take notice of, or at least read very carefully, because in my experience they post well considered information. But I guess I'm just being lazy and reading the rules is the thing to do.
