It is my understanding that an airport which has been assessed by the FAA for an instrument approach will also be checked for an ODP/diverse-departure.
The Obstacle Clearance Surface (OCS) or 40:1 ratio applies if no ODP or SID are assigned, yet there is an IAP assigned.
Based on that I am confused how the airport N14 checks the diverse departure assessment. When I look at FAA Take off mins, I see that this airport notates 'Rwy 19, trees beginning 16’ from DER, 1’ left of centerline, up to 136’ AGL/152’ MSL.'
To me, that sounds like there is a tree which is 136 ft high, 16ft from the end of the runway. How could this airport pass the assessment?
Just looking to learn. TIA!
