Which is the correct traffic pattern departure procedure to use at a noncontrolled airport?
A
Depart in any direction consistent with safety, after crossing the airport boundary.
B
Make all turns to the left.
C
Comply with any FAA traffic pattern established for the airport.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
14 CFR 91.126(b) requires each pilot operating at a noncontrolled airport in Class G airspace to comply with any traffic patterns established for that airport, and AIM 4-3-3 gives the recommended departure procedures. Departing in any direction after crossing the boundary is not the rule, and turns are to the left only when the airport has no right-hand pattern.
