ODP question

[DankVectorz]

None of my airports have ODP’s so not overly familiar with them. Do any towered airports have ODP’s or is it only non-towered?

JNU has an ODP

When I saw the thread I jumped in quick only to realize I read the title wrong. 😕 What's an ODP? Operational Deviation Procedure or something?

Obstacle Departure Procedure

We have two. AFAIK it's basically the same as a SID, just except that because of the terrain every IFR aircraft has to follow it - no runway heading, no auto releases/departure corridor, no diverging courses, etc.

Aren’t ODP’s optional for pilots unless assigned by ATC?

We have an obstacle departure procedure at HHR (Contract Tower). It’s required because of how close we are to LAX. If they don’t turn on departure and follow the ODP it’s an IFR separation bust with LAX departures.

RNO has ODPs, we using them often enough to know them.

All 20 something of my airports in my area have ODP's towered or not and some airports that's all you have, everyone has to be on an odp, dva, or sid.
