Doncaster Sheffield Rogag procedure - Vmc only?
Hi there, I would like to ask you for an opinion on the Rogag procedure in Doncaster. I have refused to fly it the other day due to Imc weather. The ATC was surprised and ask me why. I told them, that on the Rogag 02 departure I would have to turn at 560' to the right, but the MSA is 1900'. On the procedure plate it says, that this procedure is not assessed for obstacles and does not constitute a standard instrument departure.
I told them, that I could only fly it during the day and in VMC. I said, that in IMC my only option would be to climb straight ahead to 2000' feet (above MSA) and than to turn on course or fly Upton departure, which is a real SID. I am very surprised, that it is possible in UK to clear aircraft into the dark and cloudy night and follow a procedure that does not have obstacle clearance assessment.
Any suggestions and info would be appreciated.
