Which statement about OLF Spencer departure corners is true?

• A. Southeast is the standard departure corner, with Northeast for course 090, 180, 360, and Northwest for 270.
• B. Northwest is the standard departure corner.
• C. Northeast is the standard departure corner.
• D. Southeast is the standard departure corner, with Northwest for course 090, 180, 360.

Answer: (A)

Departures from OLF Spencer are organized by corners to keep the initial flight path clear of other traffic. The standard, default corner is the southeast one. When departing in the eastward or northward directions, you switch to the northeast corner; when departing westward, you use the northwest corner. This arrangement matches the published OLF Spencer departure procedures and helps maintain safe traffic flow by grouping similar departure directions into specific corners. Other mappings would conflict with the documented pattern and aren’t used in practice.
