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.
Hold the extended centerline to 1,000 ft MSL or the golf course / mid-channel, whichever comes last.
The route
- Maintain runway centerline until 1,000 feet MSL or the golf course, whichever occurs last
- Maintain runway centerline until 1,000 feet MSL or mid-channel, whichever occurs last
- Fly friendly — be a good neighbor
When it applies
- Runway configuration unconfirmed The map places the golf-course callout at the north end and the mid-channel callout at the south end, which associates them with runway 17 and runway 35 departures respectively — but it conveys that only by arrow placement and does not label either callout with a runway number in text. Applicability is therefore left unconfirmed rather than inferred from arrow geometry
