What is the altitude to climb to after reaching the designated point on the Rusty departure from 13L/13R?

When following standard departure procedures such as the Rusty departure from runways 13L or 13R, the altitude to climb to after reaching the designated point is prescribed in the procedure for safety and traffic management.

In this case, the correct altitude of 2500 feet MSL (Mean Sea Level) is typically established to ensure adequate vertical separation from other aircraft and to conform with air traffic control (ATC) requirements. Departures often have specific altitudes that need to be maintained until further instructions are given or until entering a different airspace zone.

Climbing to 2500 feet MSL is also consistent with standard practice for maintaining terrain and obstacle clearance in the vicinity of the departure path, which is crucial shortly after takeoff. This altitude allows for a safe transition to subsequent waypoints and helps facilitate the flow of traffic within the surrounding airspace.

Other altitude options like 5500', 1500', or 500' MSL may not align with the specific instructions laid out in departure charts for this route, as they may either be too high for the initial phase of departure or too low for safe navigational clearance.
