How To Fly The PORTE3 Departure Without Turning Right
One of the most widely used departures in the Oakland ARTCC is the PORTE 3 departure from San Francisco Int’l (KSFO). This is mainly because it’s the departure you’ll get when flying SFO-LAX, which is one of the most popular routes on VATSIM. However, too often pilots either don’t know the procedure and go directly to their first fix, or load it up from a preset DP in their pay ware aircraft’s FMC, which often ends up being incorrectly programmed. Whatever the reason, it often leads to pilots turning right instead of left after departure, and having near head-on collisions with landing airplanes. In this article, you will learn how to fly the PORTE 3 departure correctly, without turning right.
