SIDs
Runway 01
| SID | Initial Climb | Notes |
| MID 3 | 1520 feet | Fly runway heading to altitude 1520 feet, level turn right heading 169 degrees and, when directed by ATC, climb FL50 When Cranwell are operating on runway 01 with simultaneous instrument approaches to runway 26, this departure will not be available and all instrument departures will be as directed by ATC |
Runway 08
Runway 19
| SID | Initial Climb | Notes |
| MID 4 | 1420 feet | Fly runway heading to altitude 1420 feet, level turn left onto heading 139 degrees, then when directed by ATC, climb to FL50 Minimum climb gradient of 3.7% until reaching 1420 feet, then climb gradient reverts back to 3.3% from this point |
Runway 26
| SID | Initial Climb | Notes |
| MID 1 | FL50 | Fly runway heading, climbing to FL50, further climb as cleared by ATC |
| MID 1A | FL80 | Fly runway heading, climb to altitude not below 1220 feet, or 2DME, whichever is later, then turn right heading 298 degrees, climbing to FL80. During the climb intercept GAM 148 radial to GAM |
| MID 1B | FL100 | LGT Aircraft only Fly runway heading, climb to altitude not below 1220 feet, or 2 DME, whichever is later, then turn left heading 238 degrees, climb FL100 |
| MID 1C | FL150 | CAT A, B and C aircraft only Fly runway heading, climb to altitude 1220 feet or 1.5 DME, whichever is later, then turn right onto heading 058 degrees not below altitude 3220 feet. Intercept OTR 199 radial climbing to FL150 Minimum climb gradient of 7.7% until intercepting OTR 199 radial |
