Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument lets pilots departing Lady Elliott Island turn before the usual 500 ft climb limit so they can remain within gliding distance of shallow water or return to the aerodrome, avoiding forced ditching in deep reef waters.

To use it pilots must climb on runway heading to at least 300 ft, broadcast the early-turn intention on CTAF 126.7, judge the manoeuvre safe, and follow Seair Pacific’s operational procedures.
