QotM
====

You are planning a night cross-country flight under FAR Part 91. What are
the obstacle clearance requirements, and where can you get information
regarding obstacle heights?


Scenario
========

Departure procedures range from 'fly runway heading' to convoluted turns
amidst precipitous terrain. Yet even the most mundane departures can be
misunderstood. Now you re in the clouds and wondering: Is this departure
more about keeping you clear from the terrain below or the traffic above?
