Minimum seperation between IFR and VFR

[littco]

Dizzee Rascal,

Thanks for the Info. I guess by the way you say it,it sounded familiar and it's not the 1st time this has happened..

Have to say where as we normally are cleared for a right at 1mile we where actually told prior to the takeoff clearance to turn at 1.5 miles, we did actually ask ATC for confirmation of this before we started rolling. So ATC did a good job of giving us extra spacing however, I guess though that it just happened we where at nearly the same point at the same time due to a number of other factors.


Also, pilots must follow SID's(some deviation allowing)... does that mean for an SDR we don't?? can we choose not to turn at 1 mile if we decide it's better...
