Still thinking about what I just posted......
180 degrees to 3,000' is a non-standard given to LPL NANTIs when MAN is on easterlies.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but all IFR deps off LPL contact the same MACC sector (128.05).
If this is so, would a left turn out off 09, as for a WAL SID, then a turn to NANTI or HON when clear of MAN inbounds be safer, with only a couple of minute's loss of expedition incurred by the extra track mileage ?
Another question too, if I may !?
My Met. studies are recent enough to recall the difference between inland and coastal winds.
However, as per MAN and their preferred runway policy (i.e. westerlies), could there not be a policy whereby MAN and LPL have an agreed runway policy, eg when MAN on westerlies, LPL do also, subject to an agreed wind component table.?
