Where do you find published DPs?

Where do you find published DPs?

• A. FLIP Terminal High/Low Altitude Approach Charts
• B. AIM
• C. A/FD
• D. NOTAMs

Answer: (A)

Departure procedures show the published standard routes for leaving an airport under IFR, including initial turns, altitude constraints, and how you join the enroute structure. These procedures are published in the Flight Information Publication (FLIP) Terminal Procedures, specifically in the Terminal High Altitude and Terminal Low Altitude charts. Those charts encompass the Standard Instrument Departures (SIDs) and related routing, providing the official source for DPs. The AIM offers general guidance, not official DP charts; the A/FD contains airport data but not the formal DP charts; NOTAMs cover temporary changes and not the standard, published routes. So the published DPs are found in FLIP Terminal High/Low Altitude charts.
