Yes it deletes the Top altitude (7000) in the climb via clearance.

Yes it deletes the Top altitude (7000) in the climb via clearance.

Incorrect. There is no top altitude on the Pomona 7 and many other departures, but there is a hold down. In this case you would comply with the 7000 restriction and then climb and maintain 14000.

If that's the case, why would the Except maintain 14,000 be added into the PDC? According to their universal Climb via clearances, 14,000 would be the top altitude on the Pomona7 SID.

Feel free to read JO 7110.113d on the FAA website to understand how ATC clearances work.

As long as we are handing out reading assignments, read question 7 from this FAA Q and A on the climb via clearance.

Top altitudes are published on the chart, like FL 190 on the Shead 7 at KLAS. The Pomona and many others that don't have a top altitude will always have an "except maintain" caveat. You are still required to comply with restrictions prior to that.

Thanks. I read the Regs / company training aids. My assumption was correct as stated above. Maintain the 7k then proceed to the 14k.

Thanks for the info.

Sorry to pick on you, but this is a problem I see with pilots today...a part 121 captain who's never heard of TEC. You've obviously passed all the checkrides, but that quick ride to the top leaves a lot of gaps in the knowledge base.

Don't be so smug.
