Narrative:
The narrative for the dixxy 3 departure off runway 24 at roa is flawed. The procedure calls for a climb on the i-szk lda localizer course. The departure chart depicts the course as 250 degrees. That course of 250 degrees is incorrect. The actual lda course is 070 degrees. Therefore, the narrative should read to fly the lda localizer back course to dixxy. This distinction is critical since the outbound radio confign, as the narrative is presently, has the head of the lubber 180 degrees out of sync. The head of lubber line needs to be on the front course, not the back course as is presently depicted. If this narrative is not corrected, I could easily envision an aircraft following a needle into the peak located ssw of cnq.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: A CL65-RJ CREW, DEPARTING ROC, EXPERIENCED DEVS FROM DEP RTE DUE TO NAV RADIOS BEING SET TO THE WRONG COURSE.
Narrative: THE NARRATIVE FOR THE DIXXY 3 DEP OFF RWY 24 AT ROA IS FLAWED. THE PROC CALLS FOR A CLB ON THE I-SZK LDA LOC COURSE. THE DEP CHART DEPICTS THE COURSE AS 250 DEGS. THAT COURSE OF 250 DEGS IS INCORRECT. THE ACTUAL LDA COURSE IS 070 DEGS. THEREFORE, THE NARRATIVE SHOULD READ TO FLY THE LDA LOC BACK COURSE TO DIXXY. THIS DISTINCTION IS CRITICAL SINCE THE OUTBOUND RADIO CONFIGN, AS THE NARRATIVE IS PRESENTLY, HAS THE HEAD OF THE LUBBER 180 DEGS OUT OF SYNC. THE HEAD OF LUBBER LINE NEEDS TO BE ON THE FRONT COURSE, NOT THE BACK COURSE AS IS PRESENTLY DEPICTED. IF THIS NARRATIVE IS NOT CORRECTED, I COULD EASILY ENVISION AN ACFT FOLLOWING A NEEDLE INTO THE PEAK LOCATED SSW OF CNQ.
