When can you fly an obstacle departure procedure?

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.

Where does a departure procedure end?

At which point does the basic instrument departure procedure?

Terms in this set (19) (Refer to Figures 163 and 164) Using an average ground speed of 120 knots, what minimum rate of climb must be maintained to meet the required climb rate (feet per NM) to 6,800 feet as specified on the instrument departure procedure for Rwy 32?
