Departure Plates Explained

We will use the SAN JOSE NINE DEPARTURE plate in this example. Each departure
plate has the following two basic components.

1. Basic route (green color)– Initial route that applies to all aircraft which starts at the
departure airport and ends at a FIX (the FIX can be an intersection or a VOR). The
name of the basic route is the name of the FIX where the route ends. In this
example, the name of the basic route is MOONY because the route ends at the
MOONY Intersection (INT).

2. Transition route (Orange and Blue colors)– Portion of the departure route that
requires you to navigate from the FIX at end of the basic route to a specific VOR.
Each transition route is named based on the FIX that the route ends. In this
example, we have two transition routes, PXN (Orange) and AVE (Blue).
Each departure plate has one basic route and one or more transition routes. In the case of
the SAN JOSE NINE DEPARTURE, the basic portion of the route ends at the MOONY
intersection (INT). From the MOONY INT, there are two transition routes, one that ends
at the AVE VOR and the other ends at the PXN VOR.

When you fly a departure route, a pilot is required to fly only the basic portion of the
route. However, if one of the transition routes takes you towards your destination airport,
you are encouraged to fly that transition route.

So how do you know which transition you will fly? That depends on your destination
airport. Since check ride BRAVO takes us to KMRY, we would not fly the PXN
transition because this transition route will take us away from KMRY. Similarly, the
AVE transition would also takes us further away from KMRY. Therefore, it would be
best to only fly the basic route to the MOONY INT, and from MOONY INT we would
proceed direct to the SNS VOR as suggested by the KMRY ILS 10R plate. In other
words, you choose your transition route based on where you are going.

When you file a flight plan, you need to write down the name of the departure plate plus
a dot plus the name of the FIX that you will use to exit the departure plate (NAME.FIX).
Each departure plate has a name with a number. Each time the departure plate is updated,
the number is increased by one, this is how we can keep track of plate revisions. In this
case, the SAN JOSE DEPARTURE plate has been revised NINE times. In addition to
the full name, each plate has a short name, and it’s the short name that we use when we
file our flight plan. In the case of the SAN JOSE NINE DEPARTURE, we would use the
following short name, SJC9 (this is found at the top and bottom left corner of each plate,
the red color). Since we intend to fly only the basic route, we would write our departure
route as follows:

SJC9.MOONY (SJC9 is the name of the departure route. MOONY is the fix that we
will use to exit the departure plate).

If we wanted to fly the AVE transition, then when filed our flight plan we would write it
as follows:

SJC9.AVE (SJC9 is the name of the departure route. AVE is the name of the fix that we
will use to exit the departure plate).

Departure Route Description

This section is located on the bottom of the departure plate and contains a textual
description of the routes along with any other important instructions. For instance, the
green box in this section describes the basic portion of the route, which is from KSJC to
the MOONY INT. The Blue and Orange boxes describe the AVE and PXN transition
routes.
Route Altitudes
Anytime you fly over terrain that contains obstructions (such as mountains, radio
antennas, etc), the route will have a minimum enroute altitude (MEA). In addition to the
MEA, some routes will also have a minimum obstruction clearance altitude (MOCA).
The MOCA will always have an asterisk (the MOCA is not shown in many departure
plates). In the SJC9 departure plate, the MEA and MOCA are shown in the yellow box
with the black border.

MEA = The lowest route altitude that will guarantee adequate navigational signal
reception and obstruction clearance (2000 feet clearance over mountains, and 1000 feet
elsewhere).

MOCA = The lowest route altitude that will guarantee obstruction clearance (2000 feet
clearance over mountains, and 1000 feet elsewhere). Navigational signals are not
guaranteed beyond 22 nautical miles of the facility.

In the case of the SJC9 departure plate, the MEA for the PXN transition route is 7000,
and the MOCA is 5900. For the AVE transition route, the MEA is 12000 and the MOCA
is 7400.

Arrival Plates Explained

We will use the SADDE SIX ARRIVAL plate in this example. Just like departure plates,
arrival plates also have the same two basic components but in reverse order:

1. Transition route – Portion of the arrival route that requires you to navigate from a
specific FIX (usually a VOR, but it can be an intersection) to the FIX (the FIX can
be an intersection or a VOR) where the basic route begins.

2. Basic route – Route that applies to all aircraft which starts at the beginning of a FIX
(the FIX can be an intersection or a VOR) and ends near the airport or a vectoring
point. The name of the basic route is the name of the FIX where the route begins.
In this example, the name of the basic route is SADDE because the basic route
begins at the SADDE Intersection (INT).

Arrival plates are arranged in the same way that departure plates are arranged but in the
reverse order. In other words, you enter the arrival route from the transition point
(usually a VOR), which takes you to a common FIX (the FIX can be an intersection or a
VOR). The basic route then begins from the common FIX and ends near the airport or a
vectoring point.

According to the SADDE SIX ARRIVAL plate, there are FOUR transition routes and
one basic route.
1. Transition routes – Four transitions route starting at the following FIXES; PMD
VOR, AVE VOR, DINTY INT and, ELKEY INT. Notice how all four transition
routes end (or come together) at the SADDE INT.

2. Basic route – Begins at SADDE INT and ends at the JAVSI INT, which is the
vectoring point to KLAX.

So how do you know which transition you will use to enter the arrival procedure? That
depends on the airport you departed from. Since check ride BRAVO takes us from
KMRY to KLAX, we would choose to enter the arrival procedure to KLAX from the
AVE VOR. Notice how the other arrival intersection entry points are farther away from
KMRY compared to AVE. Therefore, the AVE transition is the best entry route for our
arrival into KLAX from KMRY. Note, it is not always necessary to enter the arrival
plate from a transition, you can enter it at the beginning of the basic route, but this type of
entry is not commonly used. In other words, you choose your transition route based on
where you are coming from.

When you file a flight plan, you need to write down the name of the FIX that you will use
to enter the arrival plate, plus a dot plus the name of the arrival route, similar to the
departure plate but in reverse order (FIX.NAME). Just like the arrival plate, each
departure plate has a name with plus a number. Each time the arrival plate is updated, the
number is increased by one, this is how we can keep track of plate revisions. In addition
to the full name, each plate has a short name, and it’s the short name that we use when we
file our flight plan. In the case of the SADDE SIX ARRIVAL, we would use the
following short name, SADDE6 (this is found at the top and bottom left corner of each
plate). Since we intend to enter the arrival plate from the AVE VOR, we would write our
departure route as follows:

AVE.SADDE6 (AVE is the name of the transition and, SADDE is the name of the
arrival route).

Arrival Route Description

This section is located on the bottom of the departure plate (sometimes on a second page)
and contains a textual description of the routes along with any other important
instructions. Unlike the departure route descriptions, the arrival route description section
will list the transition routes first followed by the basic route. If you think about it this
makes sense because you enter the arrival plate via one of the transition routes.
However, it is not always necessary to enter the arrival plate from a transition, you can
enter it at the beginning of the basic route, but this type of entry is not commonly used.

Route Altitudes
Anytime you fly over terrain that contains obstructions (such as mountains, radio
antennas, etc), the route will have a minimum enroute altitude (MEA). In addition to the
MEA, some routes will also have a minimum obstruction clearance altitude (MOCA).
The MOCA will always have an asterisk (the MOCA is not shown in all of the arrival
plates).
MEA = The lowest route altitude that will guarantee adequate navigational signal
reception and obstruction clearance (2000 feet clearance over mountains, and 1000 feet
elsewhere).

MOCA = The lowest route altitude that will guarantee obstruction clearance (2000 feet
clearance over mountains, and 1000 feet elsewhere). Navigational signals are not
guaranteed beyond 22 nautical miles of the facility.

Flight Plans Explained

Each flight plan has five basic components:

1. Departing airport
2 Departure route
3. Enroute portion
4. Arrival route
5. Arrival airport

Once you have the five basic components listed above, the flight plan is written by
combining items 1 through 5 in one sentence as follows (in capital letters):

(DEPARTURE AIRPORT) (DEPARTURE ROUTE) (ENROUTE ROUTE) (ARRIVAL

ROUTE) (ARRIVAL AIRPORT)

Some airports will not have a published departure route or a published arrival route. In
addition, if the distance between the departing and arrival airport is too short, you will not
have an Enroute portion. NOTE, since the check ride BRAVO is flown off-line, you will
not file a flight plan. The following is if you were to fly the flight on the VATSIM or
IVAO network.

In the case of check ride Bravo, we will be flying from KSJC to KMRY and then from
KMRY to KLAX.

KSJC to KMRY flight plan

KSJC has a published departure route, and KMRY does not have a published arrival
route. Since the distance between KSJC and KMRY is very short, we will have one
enroute FIX. The route components for the flight plan from KSJC to KMRY would be
the following:

1. Departure airport = KSJC

2. Departure route = SJC9.MOONY
3. Enroute portion = from MOONY INT to SNS VOR
4. Arrival route = No published arrival for KMRY
5. Arrival airport = KMRY

Putting items 1 through 5 together, our flight plan would be as follows:

KSJC SJC9.MOONY SNS KMRY

KMRY to KLAX flight plan

KMRY has a published departure route, and KLAX has a published arrival route. Since
the distance between KMRY and KLAX is very short, we will not have an Enroute
portion. The route components for the flight plan from KMRY to KLAX would be the
following:

1. Departure airport = KMRY

2. Departure route = SECA2.AVE
3. Enroute portion= None due to short flight
4. Arrival route = AVE.SADDE6
5. Arrival airport = KLAX

Putting items 1 through 5 together, our flight plan would be as follows:

KMRY SECA2.AVE AVE.SADDE6 KLAX

Additional Comments
1. Unless ATC gives you a specific altitude and heading, the pilot is responsible for
flying the arrival and departure routes as published on the plates.

2. Never exceed 250 knots at or below 10,000 feet.

3. In the USA, altitudes beginning at 18,000 and above are known as flight levels (FL)
and are represented by the first three digits of that altitude. For instance, 18,000
feet would be FL180; 29,000 feet would be FL290. Do not refer to any altitude at
or below 10,000 feet as a flight level altitude.

4. At or above FL180, you must set your altimeter to 29.92

5. Your cruising altitude is based on your direction of flight (see below).

6. It is easier to select your departure and arrival route if you layout the sectional
charts and enroute charts (if you have any). If you don’t have sectional or enroute
charts, you should at least know the general direction that you will be departing and
the general direction that you will be arriving from before you select your departure
and arrival routes with their corresponding transitions.
7. Although not covered in this tutorial, the enroute portion of the flight is chosen
using enroute charts such as the low altitude or the high altitude enroute charts. If
you don’t have enroute charts, the enroute portion of your flight can be flow
directly from your departure transition FIX to your arrival transition FIX.
