Narrative:
Took off without ATC route clearance. Rushed departure duties due to fuel change at last min. Thunderstorms were approaching destination airport (tul) and that was the reason for the additional fuel. The missed approach altitude (5000 ft) was set in the altitude window which is also the standard pit departure altitude.
