Have a look at the CLAMR intersection. It has a crossing restriction of FL300 (at or above FL300). This is above the published top altitude (FL230). You may not climb above FL230 until specifically cleared by ATC. Reading the narrative on the back of the departure procedure will help clarify this restriction. There are no speed restrictions for this departure procedure.So, right after takeoff from runway 35 left, we will climb on a runway heading (353°) until reaching 5,934, then initiate a climbing right-hand turn to the KIDNG intersection, then continue to the fixes depicted on the chart, being sure to stop at the top altitude of FL230.Coming Back DownNow, let’s briefly visit an old concept that goes along with this topic, relating to Standard Terminal Arrival Routes (STARs), the “descend via” clearance. These clearances have been used for some time but I think it’s good to review them.It used to be that only a handful of airports utilized a STAR in which ATC would issue a “descend via” clearance, La Guardia’s KORRY Arrival being the foremost in my memory. Now these STARs are quite common and it’s becoming more likely that a pilot will hear a descend via clearance during his arrival into a moderately-busy airport. It’s important for the pilot to know what this clearance means and what ATC expects of them.First, to clarify what I’m talking about when I say a “descend via” clearance, I will use the CRAZI ONEAPRIL 2016Advertiser Spotlight!Sometimes Twin & Turbine Advertiserswish they could say just a bit more abouttheir great products.House Aviation Pilots N PawsThirdPagewthy can!1/3 PageGo to Twin & Turbine’s upgraded website www.twinandturbine.come
