Question

1. when you get take off instructions example [ after takeoff climb to 3000 after 5 minutes expect 15000.] will departure atc know this information.

2. when you take off and your going east and you need to go west to get on course can you turn right after takeoff do get on course or do you have to wait.

Answer 1

from my experience working for an airline the air traffic controllers know essentially all waypoints of a flight, so therefore yes they would more than likely know your rate of ascention in order to accurately map the airspace.

As for take off direction, the flightpath would be planned to gradually turn to the direction of the destination, not necissarily turing directly around, such a manouever is potentially dangerous and unnecissary.

Answer 2

The clearance you received is actually a lost comm clearance. It is highly unlikely that this would be a reasonable clearance if an actual flight. ATC will be expecting to put you on the most expedicious route according to your filed flight plan as soon as soon as they can but they need to put you someplace out of the way if they can't talk to you for some reason after departure. Radio traffic can make it tough to get a word in edgewise when you switch over to departure but when you are finally checked in they'll get you headed where you want to go when they can work it out. But and I mean but. If you're not talking to someobody, maintain that last assigned clearance. That just might be me descending through 4000 on approach to that neighboring airport that your clearance was designed to keep us both alive.

1) The tower gets its instructions for IFR departures from either approach / departure control, or from center (whoever it is they hand traffic off to), so yes, ATC knows because they issued the clearance and the tower simply passed it on. Tower has to coordinate all IFR departures in this way.

2) If you have departed from a tower airport and you are assigned a heading, whether IFR or VFR, you cannot turn on course unless cleared to do so. If you departed from an uncontrolled field and the traffic is left hand, you cannot turn right to get on course. The regs say departing traffic must adhere to the published traffic pattern. If you departed the uncontrolled field on an IFR clearance (which would be a void-time clearance), you have to comply with the published departure procedure or ATC any instructions received prior to departure.

3) If you are a flight student, why aren't you reading / studying  official published information on this stuff?
