What is VCOA in aviation?

A Visual Climb Over Airport (VCOA) procedure is a departure option for an IFR aircraft, operating in visual meteorological conditions equal to or greater than the specified visibility and ceiling, to visually conduct climbing turns over the airport to the published “at or above” altitude.

When can you fly a VCOA?

To take off from Runway using the VCOA, you must have 3 miles of visibility and 9,000 foot ceilings. Since the airport is at an elevation of 4,124 feet MSL, when you add ceilings of 9,000 feet AGL, you get an altitude of 13,124 feet. That’s why the VCOA requires a climb in visual conditions to 13,000 feet MSL.
