  When a pilot is assigned a SID for departure refer to the airport entry in the TPP or the graphic ODP to obtain information on the takeoff obstacles. (c) The FAA redefined the initial climb area criteria that are used ... takeoff obstacle notes are published in a different manner and an additional minimums option is added for the departure. To ensure the pilot knows which evaluation was accomplished, the charting will be different by bolding certain headers and runway information…

  Runway Surface and Gradient Runway conditions affect takeoff and landing performance. Typically, performance chart information assumes paved, level, smooth, and dry runway surfaces. Since no two runways are alike, the runway surface differs from one runway to another, as does ... runway gradient or slope. [Figure 11-15] Runway surfaces vary widely from one airport to another. The runway surface encountered may be concrete, asphalt, gravel, dirt, or grass. The runway surface for a specific airport is noted in the Chart…

So as to expedite the handling of departures, Departure Control may suggest a takeoff direction other than that which may normally have been used ... under VFR handling. Many times it is preferred to offer the pilot a runway that will require the fewest turns after takeoff to place the pilot on course or selected departure route as quickly as possible. At many locations particular…

  towered airport, pilots need to contact the tower operator and receive a takeoff clearance before taxiing onto the active runway. Taking off immediately behind another aircraft, particularly a large and heavy transport airplane, creates the risk of a wake turbulence ... flying through an aircraft’s wake turbulence by avoiding the other aircraft’s flightpath or rotating prior to the point at which the preceding aircraft rotated. While taxiing onto the runway, the pilot should select ground reference points that…
