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.
Vy on runway heading to 1,200 ft MSL; arrivals are a 3-mile straight-in, and the airport says 13 should be used only for operational necessity.
The route
- Use Vy (best rate of climb); maintain runway heading until reaching 1,200 ft MSL before proceeding on course
- Arrival: 3 mile straight-in approach
- Runway 13 should be used only for operational necessity
Where it actually is
North up. The sponsor names these landmarks and publishes no coordinate for any of them — everything positioned here is derived, and each coordinate's provenance is listed with its point below. Dashed markers are depicted: this site's reading of the written route, not published fixes.

Put it in the GPS
Route points become a route; reference points ship as waypoints only — a GPS that sequences you to a do-not-overfly marker has it backwards.
