Fireflybob:
You really have my curiousity raised by this thread.
Could you give us the exact shape of this circuit you are talking about.
How far from the end of the runway are these houses and exactly how many degrees of heading change is needed to comply with the procedure?
I can not remember ever seeing an airport anywhere in the world where a turn after take off was required that put airplanes at risk.
I have seen airports where five hundred foot circuits were required due to the proximity of a bigger airport, never heard anyone crash because of doing turns at these airports.
So please post more on this " Problem " departure of yours.
