Order purpose statement

This order provides the policy, guidance, and standardization for initiating, developing, processing, and managing the Departure Procedure (DP) Program. The original order combined into a single product textual instrument flight rules (IFR) departure procedures and graphical standard instrument departures (SIDs). It made no distinction between area navigation (RNAV) DPs: those developed solely for obstruction clearance and those developed for system enhancement. This document defines two separate types of DPs: SIDs developed for system enhancement and obstacle departure procedure (ODPs) developed solely for obstruction clearance. This order contains guidance that is pertinent to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, (14 CFR) Parts 71, 91, 97, 121, and 135.
