Narrative:

I am the pilot of an aircraft departing lal. Prior to my arrival at lal 2 days previous; I downloaded and studied the 45 page NOTAM dealing with arrs and departure. I stapled the pages so as to have 1 set of pages dealing with arrs and the other departures. On the day of our departure; the aircraft was stuck in soggy ground and had to be pushed onto the taxiway. The ground personnel were urging us to make a hasty departure due to the fact we were now blocking a taxiway. The aircraft was started and taxiing began. I handed the pages dealing with the departure to my friend (non-pilot) to read me the departure instructions. They stated runway heading for 3 mi then on course. As we complied with the instructions our on-course was taking us into the vicinity of lake parker. On the second page of the departure procedures it stated avoid lake parker on the departure. We did not realize this until we were in the lake parker area. An aircraft approaching lake parker from our right turned to parallel our course. We descended slightly as the aircraft beside us started a climb and we were able to clear the area to the north. Contributing factors were that due to the taxiway congestion we did not properly take the time to review the entire NOTAM and relying on a non-pilot for help reading the document. What could we do to avoid this? 1) an arrival and a departure procedure summarized on 1 page. This is critical because on the NOTAM it states on one page 'runway heading for 3 mi then turn on course.' the note to avoid lake parker is on the next page which in our case was easily missed. 2) the departure procedure drawn out so traffic will avoid the arrival traffic fly 3 mi turn on course puts any northbound aircraft in front of arriving traffic.

Title: GA PILOT REPORTS NONCOMPLIANCE WITH NOTAM CONCERNING DEPARTURES AND TFR.

Narrative: I AM THE PLT OF AN ACFT DEPARTING LAL. PRIOR TO MY ARR AT LAL 2 DAYS PREVIOUS; I DOWNLOADED AND STUDIED THE 45 PAGE NOTAM DEALING WITH ARRS AND DEP. I STAPLED THE PAGES SO AS TO HAVE 1 SET OF PAGES DEALING WITH ARRS AND THE OTHER DEPS. ON THE DAY OF OUR DEP; THE ACFT WAS STUCK IN SOGGY GND AND HAD TO BE PUSHED ONTO THE TXWY. THE GND PERSONNEL WERE URGING US TO MAKE A HASTY DEP DUE TO THE FACT WE WERE NOW BLOCKING A TXWY. THE ACFT WAS STARTED AND TAXIING BEGAN. I HANDED THE PAGES DEALING WITH THE DEP TO MY FRIEND (NON-PLT) TO READ ME THE DEP INSTRUCTIONS. THEY STATED RWY HDG FOR 3 MI THEN ON COURSE. AS WE COMPLIED WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS OUR ON-COURSE WAS TAKING US INTO THE VICINITY OF LAKE PARKER. ON THE SECOND PAGE OF THE DEP PROCS IT STATED AVOID LAKE PARKER ON THE DEP. WE DID NOT REALIZE THIS UNTIL WE WERE IN THE LAKE PARKER AREA. AN ACFT APCHING LAKE PARKER FROM OUR R TURNED TO PARALLEL OUR COURSE. WE DSNDED SLIGHTLY AS THE ACFT BESIDE US STARTED A CLB AND WE WERE ABLE TO CLR THE AREA TO THE N. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS WERE THAT DUE TO THE TXWY CONGESTION WE DID NOT PROPERLY TAKE THE TIME TO REVIEW THE ENTIRE NOTAM AND RELYING ON A NON-PLT FOR HELP READING THE DOCUMENT. WHAT COULD WE DO TO AVOID THIS? 1) AN ARR AND A DEP PROC SUMMARIZED ON 1 PAGE. THIS IS CRITICAL BECAUSE ON THE NOTAM IT STATES ON ONE PAGE 'RWY HDG FOR 3 MI THEN TURN ON COURSE.' THE NOTE TO AVOID LAKE PARKER IS ON THE NEXT PAGE WHICH IN OUR CASE WAS EASILY MISSED. 2) THE DEP PROC DRAWN OUT SO TFC WILL AVOID THE ARR TFC FLY 3 MI TURN ON COURSE PUTS ANY NBOUND ACFT IN FRONT OF ARRIVING TFC.
