Which statement best summarizes a turboprop Case II departure?

• A. Parallel to BRC at 500 feet and turn at 6 nm to intercept the 7 nm arc.
• B. Parallel to BRC at 1000 feet and turn at 8 nm to intercept the 9 nm arc.
• C. Parallel to BRC at 300 feet and turn at 5 nm to intercept the 6 nm arc.
• D. Parallel to BRC at 600 feet and turn at 7 nm to intercept the 8 nm arc.

Answer: (A)

This question tests how a turboprop Case II departure uses a parallel-to-fix segment followed by a turn to intercept a published arc. In this setup, you fly along a line parallel to the BRC at a low altitude to ensure obstacle clearance during the initial climb. At the prescribed point along that parallel path, you initiate a turn that places you onto the published radius-to-fix arc around BRC, which then guides you onto the intended en route track. The best choice matches the exact combination of a low parallel altitude and the turn timing that brings you onto the correct arc radius, preserving the published geometry of the procedure.

Other options shift you to a different altitude or different turn point, which would place you on the wrong arc or off the intended routing, violating the procedure’s design.
