Narrative:

Departing runway 22 at evu tower will often assign a 240 degree heading, this puts an aircraft right in line with tv towers 4 NM southwest of the airport. Under the right conditions (high gross weight, single engine, icing) an aircraft could come very close to these towers. Suggest that euv give anything but a 240 degree heading off runway 22. Headings of 270 degree or 200 degree would work fine. Also suggest commercial chart indicate the towers southwest of the airport on their ILS 22 approach plate (nice to know if you have to miss). The towers are shown on the ILS 4 chart but not as much on the ILS 22 chart (compare the two!). Thanks for listening!

Title: ATC IS ASSIGNING DEP HEADINGS THAT TAKE ACFT TOWARDS 592' AGL TV ANTENNAS.

Narrative: DEPARTING RWY 22 AT EVU TWR WILL OFTEN ASSIGN A 240 DEG HDG, THIS PUTS AN ACFT R IN LINE WITH TV TWRS 4 NM SW OF THE ARPT. UNDER THE R CONDITIONS (HIGH GROSS WEIGHT, SINGLE ENG, ICING) AN ACFT COULD COME VERY CLOSE TO THESE TWRS. SUGGEST THAT EUV GIVE ANYTHING BUT A 240 DEG HDG OFF RWY 22. HDGS OF 270 DEG OR 200 DEG WOULD WORK FINE. ALSO SUGGEST COMMERCIAL CHART INDICATE THE TWRS SW OF THE ARPT ON THEIR ILS 22 APCH PLATE (NICE TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE TO MISS). THE TWRS ARE SHOWN ON THE ILS 4 CHART BUT NOT AS MUCH ON THE ILS 22 CHART (COMPARE THE TWO!). THANKS FOR LISTENING!
