Takeoff, alternate and surface information

  • Takeoff minimums are published for KCEZ. Standard is 1 statute mile visibility for one and two engine aircraft (½ mile for more than two) unless this section says otherwise; Part 91 operators are not bound by them but the obstacle notes apply to everyone.
  • Cortez Municipal has an obstacle departure procedure (ODP): the charted way to clear terrain and obstacles after takeoff in instrument conditions. ATC does not assign it; under Part 91 it is recommended rather than required, and it is what you fly when no SID or radar vectors have been given.
  • Non standard alternate minimums are published: if you file KCEZ as an IFR alternate, the required forecast is higher than the default 600-2 for precision or 800-2 for non precision approaches. Check the alternate rule tool.
