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.

NBAA Close-In profile: quiet climb power at 500 ft AFL rather than 1,000, which is what distinguishes these from runway 16.

The route

  1. Climb at maximum practical rate at V2+20 KIAS to 500 feet AFL with takeoff flap setting
  2. At 500 ft AFL, reduce to a quiet climb power setting while maintaining 1,000 FPM maximum climb rate and V2+20 KIAS until reaching 1,000 ft AFL
  3. At 1,000 ft AFL, accelerate to final segment speed and retract flaps; maintain quiet climb power, 1,000 FPM and not more than 190 KIAS until 3,000 ft AFL
  4. At 3,000 ft AFL and above, resume normal climb schedule with gradual application of climb power
  5. When holding at the 34 pad, align the aircraft to a heading of 190° while waiting for takeoff, for noise abatement
  6. Aircraft over 75,000 lbs operating under Part 121, 125 or 135 may not be permitted to comply with this procedure

When it applies

Source text, verbatim

Runway 34, 30, 12
When departing runways 34, 30 and 12, please use NBAA Close-In Departure Procedure.
Climb at maximum practical rate at V2+20 KIAS to 500 feel AFL with takeoff flap setting.
At 500 feet AFL, reduce to a quiet climb power setting while maintaining 1,000 FPM maximum climb rate and V2+20 KIAS until reaching 1,000 feet AFL.
At 1,000 feet AFL, accelerate to final segment speed (Vfs) and retract flaps. Maintain quiet climb power, 1,000 FPM climb rate and air speed not to exceed 190 KIAS until reaching 3,000 feet AFL. If ATC required level off prior to reaching 3,000 feet AFL, power must be reduced so as not to exceed 190 KIAS. (Note: ...aircraft in excess of 75,000 lbs. GTOW operating under FAR, Part 121, Part 125, or Part 135 may not be permitted to comply with this procedure.)
At 3,000 feet AFL and above, resume normal climb schedule with gradual application of climb power.
Note: When holding at the 34 PAD please align your A/C to a Heading of 190 degrees while waiting for take offs for noise abatement.
