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?
