vfr departure Airport sponsor published verified 2026-10-07 (2 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.
Departure to the south via the east side of Valley Medical Center toward SR-167.
The route
- Fly runway centerline until reaching 1,000' then fly direct toward the east side of Valley Medical Center
- Continue straight ahead toward a point 1 mile east of SR-167 to exit Delta airspace without entering Boeing's Delta airspace
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.
- 1 Depart RWY 16, centerline to 1,000' RWY 16 departure end South end of the single runway 16/34, at the Cedar River mouth end of the field. Runway heading 157 magnetic, 174 true. satellite Apple Maps coordinate: FAA airport record (NASR), surveyed runway threshold
- 2 Direct the east side of Valley Medical Center Valley Medical Center A large hospital complex on the valley floor immediately east of SR-167, about 3.4 NM south of the field. Multi-storey towers and a rooftop helipad; nothing else nearby is that tall. satellite Apple Maps street view coordinate: OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL)
- 3 Straight ahead, 1 NM east of SR-167 1 NM east of SR-167 Up on the Renton East Hill plateau, a mile east of the Valley Freeway. The brochure describes a point; what it means in practice is a southbound corridor offset east of SR-167 that keeps you out of Boeing Field's Class D to the west. Keeps you clear of Boeing's Class D to the west, which is the stated reason for the offset. satellite Apple Maps street view coordinate: derived: 1.0 NM east of the SR-167 centreline (OpenStreetMap) where that corridor leaves the KRNT Class D (FAA Class Airspace); elevation: USGS 3DEP point query

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.
