Mind if I butt In
I am currently having discussions here in OZ about terrain clearance on departure in a non-radar environment.
My understanding is that the pilot will:-
Set course at or above the LSALT for the route segment within 5 miles of the departure earodrome
My question is:- if/can ATC clear the aircraft to track initially on a diversion track (to facilitate separation with other traffic) then what is the LSALT for that diversion track (not being a published route) and what are the responsibilities for the pilot and/or ATC to ensure terrain clearance?
