- 1When is no ODP published?If an aircraft can turn in any direction from a runway, within the limits of the assessed area and remain clear of obstacles, it passes a diverse departure assessment. In that case, assuming other criteria are met, no ODP is published since required obstacle clearance is already achieved without it.

2. Sector white out -a visual illusion of a flat horizon in the distance.
3. VFR into night in rising terrain without ground lighting (should be treated as IFR at least in terms of climb investigating required climb gradients FPM to FPNM in expected density altitude).
