When can I turn IFR departure?
If an initial turn higher than 400 feet above the departure end of runway elevation is specified in the DP, the turn should be commenced at the higher altitude. If a turn is specified at a fix, the turn must be made at that fix.
When should you fly an ODP?
The FAA creates an ODP if obstacles require that a climb of more than 200 feet per nm be maintained for acceptable terrain separation. In conjunction with a prescribed lateral path, the ODP often will require that the aircraft be able to maintain a specified climb gradient steeper than the standard 200 feet nm.
Am I required to use an ODP if one is published?
Obstacle departure procedures are not mandatory unless of course, it was included with the ATC clearance. Typically the ATC clearance will not include the ODP unless the controller assigns it for separation. It is the pilot’s responsibility to avoid obstacles until at or above the minimum vectoring altitude.
Do you have to accept a SID?
The answer was no, you do not have to accept the SID/STAR. However, if you do, you must comply with all the restrictions as well as possess the graffical proceedure. Well, all clearances are negotiable but don’t assume you’ll get an easier departure/arrival by not accepting the SID/STAR.
What is standard takeoff minimums?
Note: a quick reminder, standard takeoff minimums for one and two engine airplanes is 1-mile visibility and a 1/2 mile visibility for 3-4 engine airplanes.
When must a pilot fly at a cardinal altitude plus 500 feet on an IFR flight plan?

Do you have to use SIDs and STARs?
Typically, each runway will have a number of SIDs and STARs to ensure that air traffic is not unnecessarily delayed by deviation from the direct route from or to the aerodrome. The SID or STAR which a pilot intends to use is usually included in the ATC flight plan.
