CLT RNAV SID ADVISORY NOTICE effective in the future

 

1.  If unable to accept the RNAV SID clearance, notify Clearance Delivery.  Runway assignment will be issued by Charlotte Ground Control.  Flight crews should immediately verify the taxi runway with the anticipated runway programmed in the FMS.

2.  ATC will provide aircrew executing an RNAV SID an advisory to verify the correct first waypoint is programmed in the FMS.  Verification shall occur (prior to issuing takeoff clearance) using the following phraseology:

“(Aircraft Identification), Verify first waypoint, (Waypoint Name)"

EXAMPLE:  “US AIRWAYS 123, Verify first waypoint EBAWI”

 

NOTE:  This advisory is issued to assist pilots in confirming the correct procedure is loaded in the FMS.  The pilot is expected to acknowledge the query as he/she would any other ATC communication.  It is not a challenge-and-reply advisory and a specific readback is not required unless the aircrew require further clarification.

 

3.  Before takeoff ensure that the correct departure runway, RNAV SID, initial waypoint and en route transition are loaded in your FMS.  Pay particular attention if a runway change has occurred.  Aircraft equipped with electronic navigation map displays verify that the aircraft symbol relative to the runway symbol and lateral track agrees with the departure clearance.  After takeoff, engage lateral navigation flight guidance as soon as practical and fly the departure precisely.

 

NOTE:   If unable to comply with the RNAV SID, contact ATC prior to takeoff and request an amended clearance.

 

4.  Parallel RNAV departures must not encroach on the airspace between extended parallel runway centerlines without specific ATC clearance.  Manually intervene if necessary to stay on track to avoid transgressing in the direction of a parallel track. 

After takeoff, continue to reference the navigation chart for correct FMS waypoint sequencing and navigation.

 

NOTE:  If unable to comply with the SID profile, either laterally or vertically,

immediately notify ATC.
