Narrative:

Philadelphia nine departure. Pre departure clearance states 'cleared PHL9 departure climb via SID' (no altitude given). Nowhere on the PHL9 10-3 page is there any indication of the altitude limit. To find it one has to go to the 10-3-1 procedure text page. Also; nowhere on the graphics page does it say to reference text page for altitude information. This runs contrary to almost every other SID and as such makes it an easy thing to miss or forget.how hard is it to put the 'maintain ____ or assigned altitude' on the same page as the graphic? If this departure had been assigned at the last minute prior to take-off the required altitude would have been difficult to find as it is on a separate page that has to be called up on an ipad that is slow to render the jeppesen graphics. I feel this has potential for loss of situational awareness given the right circumstances.
