Off the top of my head...
Any overhead departure made at midfield should be 500 ft above the circuit height. Thats usually achievable after an upwind , crosswind and half a downwind leg
The recommended departures are an upwind after 3 nm, or by extending the leg of a standard circuit on climb.
NVFR departures are a circling climb in the direction of the circuit until MSA is reached as it snot legal to fly outside the 3 nm without being 1000 ft above the highest terrain point, depending on the definition you take but route, outbound aid, or by sector altitudes.
I usually report out the exact method of departure during my departure call prior to runway entry and during the departure call.
