vfr departure Airport sponsor published verified 2026-08-28 (42 d ago)
Published by the airport sponsor; voluntary unless ATC assigns it. If ATC assigns this route to you in Class B, C or D airspace, that assignment is an ATC instruction and compliance is required (14 CFR 91.123) — and “unable” remains available to the pilot in command.
A named noise abatement departure for night operations off runway 13R by jets and aircraft over 12,500 lbs — the City names it in three documents but publishes no route for it.
The route
- The Trinity Departure is the City's noise abatement departure procedure for night operations on runway 13R, for all turbojet aircraft and aircraft weighing over 12,500 pounds
- The route itself is NOT published in any City of Dallas source that could be retrieved — the brochure, the NoiseLab noise portal and the City's noise abatement page all name the procedure without giving its headings, radials or altitudes
- Ask Dallas Love Field's Aircraft Noise office (214-670-5683) or ATC for the current routing rather than relying on any third-party description
When it applies
- Departing 13R — night operations "for night operations on Runway 13R for all turbojet aircraft and aircraft weighing over 12,500 pounds"
