I was flying to day IFR out of IZA and got cleared as filed with an initial altitude to maintain of 5000. Since wx was not great I opted for the ODP that states the following DP instruction:
Therefore, since my ATC cleared altitude was lower than the ODP altitude I was slightly confused. Unfortunately the frequency was really busy at the time and couldn't find a break to ask, but also knowing that as soon as I got ID'd I'd get a higher altitude I didn't give it much thought after that and flew with the mindset of maintaining 5000 as per ATC's instruction.Rwy 26, climb heading 264° to 6000, intercept GVO VORTAC R- 307 to ORCUT INT/MQO 30.00 DME.
For the next time what would be the correct procedure? My guess would be that an ATC assigned altitude goes before what's stated on the ODP. On the other hand, if an ODP has an altitude to climb to its obviously for obstacle clearance.
Any comments appreciated
Thanks!
