QotM
=====

You're departing IFR from an uncontrolled field. There's no SID so you
review the ODP for guidance. There's no specific departure instructions
for the runway you plan to use. You call up ATC who clears you direct to
your destination, just as you filed, but provides no specific climb out
instructions other than an altitude. When can you start your on-course
turn, and why?

Scenario
=========

You did your homework for this IMC departure. Obstacle Departure
Procedure? Check. Emergency return plan? Check. Glass panel configured and
ready? Check. Unfortunately, your cleared route undoes all this work and
ATC says their hands are tied. Will you go with the flow or negotiate a
new plan that checks the right boxes?
