March 31, 200917 yr Commercial Member I think that during departures and approaches (in general when aircraft is low) turn direction left or right is important for obstacle separation, noise abatement and other reasons. In fact SID procedures always specify turn left or right. Italian ATCs always say "turn left" or "turn right" during departures and approaches. I don't know if it's only a practise of Italian ATCs. RegardsStefanoi understand that it should say left or right. i totally agree. from a rc perspective, i'm pointing out that rc doesn't care.jd JD Read my blog
