KSJC Tecky One Departure (TECKY DP)
On January 8, 2015, the FAA published the TECKY ONE DEPARTURE (TECKY DP) at Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport (SJC). Charted on the TECKY DP is waypoint SPTNS (“Spartans”) with an associated mandatory crossing altitude of 5,000 feet, which is depicted with both an underscore and overscore on FAA-distributed charts. Pilots are reminded that, unless amended by ATC, compliance with the mandatory crossing altitude of 5,000 feet at SPTNS is required and expected. Failure to comply with the mandatory crossing altitude at SPTNS has resulted in less than standard vertical separation between aircraft operating on the TECKY DP
