# Sydney ABBEY Three jet departure from runway 16L

> Sydney ABBEY Three jet departure from runway 16L.

This **jet-only RNP 1** departure serves **runway 16L**. Maximum IAS is **250 kt below 10,000 ft** and the climb gradient is **3.3%**. During parallel runway operations, **do not make the initial turn to the right**.

## Departure sequence

1. Track **155°**.
2. At **500 ft**, **turn left onto 100°** to intercept and track **128° to KEVIN**.
3. At or above **6,000 ft**, but **not before KEVIN**, **turn right direct to JULIA**. Both conditions must be met before this turn. The diagram labels the direct leg **7 NM**.
4. Cross **JULIA at or above 10,000 ft**.
5. Track **218° to ABBEY**, **15 NM**.
6. At ABBEY, **turn right onto 226° to WOL NDB**, **18 NM**, then continue as cleared.

The initial parallel-runway caution does not prohibit the published later right turn after KEVIN and 6,000 ft.
