I haven't read the whole thread, so I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but I got an email from Flying Magazine today which mentioned this: http://www.flyingmag.com/news/cygnus-new-product-lets-you-use-your-ipad-flight-simulation?cmpid=enews072612&spPodID=030&spMailingID=5455153&spUs...

It is a strange departure, but ATC wouldn't give you an instruction as it's a pilot nav departure. Since it doesn't specify which way to turn, I assume the choice is yours, but could be wrong.

Learn something new every day. I've seen these before, SEPDY comes to mind (the point where you start the left turn on the PORTE3 from the 1's) but never knew they had a name. Of course now that I look, that one isn't on the FAA chart but is on the Jeppesen. Go figure..

You on Windows 7 or XP?

There's an easier to search version of the ICAO page as well:

It allows for the * as a wildcard as well, for example typing bonanza will display only a few models, but *bonanza* will include more.
