Flew the route last night in the EMB ERJ170 and it worked a treat. Thanks.

Deano, I can see I-VG 0.5 DME on the SID chart, but can’t see I-VG 7DME. I assume 7DME is 7nm from RWY06, what does the “I-VG” part mean?

You wouldn’t actually get that far, like I said after Noise Abatement you would “most likely” be given a direct routing to SAINT ABBS.

Edit: As it happens I have actually found the correct procedure in my charts. For a SAINT ABBS departure this is what you will do:

RWY06: Climb straight ahead, at 640ft or I-VG 0.5 DME whichever is later, turn left, track 045°, then at I-VG 7DME turn right to SAB

RWY24: Climb straight ahead to UW, turn left to SAB. Noise preferential route terminates above 3,000ft

Hope this helps

Dean

Thanks Deano, just found it strange that you would head west adding around 60nm to the route when you could just head East via RWY06. I assume you would start the climb to say FL300 after passing transition altitude at TRN?
