Narrative:

The published odp for the lua airport departing runway 22 is in error. The procedure requires a heading of 224 after takeoff from runway 22 to intercept the ldn 230 radial. Problem is that if you hold this heading in a no wind condition you will never intercept that radial.a simple word change would fix this. Something like fly heading 224 until 1500 feet; then left turn to 200 to intercept the ldn 230 radial or something like that.
