Narrative:

On a daily basis, numerous flight plans for aircraft departing den filed to or over rap are revised by ZDV. The specified, amended rtes read: 'den 3 departure, radar vectors to gll, gll 005 degree radial to rap....' the gll 005 degree radial does not go to rap. The gll 012 degree radial does. This clearance is not flyable. In the event of a radar outage or loss of communication, loss of IFR separation could occur if pilots randomly chose when to leave the gll 005 degree radial for rap.
