For an airport in class G airspace, like DSA will be, there can be no 'published procedures' for departures surely? All the low level military activity (lots of it) and civvies from the nearby GA fields (Gamston, Netherthorpe, Sandtoft, Sherburn etc.) skirting the edge of the ATZ will require every departure to be considered seperately.

As I understand it, DSA will not have a radar head on the airfield. I believe they are using Waddingtons, which is 20 miles away. Whether this is a recipe for future joy and happiness remains to be seen.
