AN LJ35 CREW DEP SLC BELIEVE THE DEP CLRNC THEY WERE ISSUED IS UNSAFE.

Narrative

ISSUED AN UNSAFE CLRNC. TKOF RWY 35. 'CLRED TO THE MISSOULA ARPT VIA THE SALT LAKE 8 DME WASATCH VOR WASATCH 005 DEG RADIAL; TO 60 DME CLB AND MAINTAIN 10000 FT DO NOT EXCEED 250 KIAS EXPECT FL370 10 MIN AFTER TKOF DEP FREQ 135.5 SQUAWK. THIS CLRNC HAD US HEADING FOR THE MOUNTAIN RANGE E OF SALT LAKE CITY AT AN ALT WELL BELOW MVA AND THE MOUNTAIN TOPS. WE WERE ISSUED A TERRAIN ALERT AND A HEADING OF 340 DEG ONCE GAINING RADIO CONTACT WITH DEP CTL. HAD THE CLRNC READ 'SALT LAKE 8 RADAR VECTORS WASATCH 005/60 DME OR SALT LAKE 8 DEP WASATCH 005/60 DME' THIS PROB WOULD HAVE NEVER AROSE. RECOMMENDATION: SALT LAKE CITY CLRNC DELIVERY MUST BECOME AWARE OF THE VERBIAGE IN THE CLRNC ISSUED ON THIS DEP AND THE DANGEROUS SIT THAT CAN ARISE IF ISSUED IMPROPERLY. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 562258: ISSUED AN UNSAFE CLRNC WHICH RESULTED IN DEP CTL ISSUING A TERRAIN ALERT. IN THE CLRNC; WE WERE CLRED TO MISSOULA VIA SALT LAKE 8 DEP; WASATCH VOR; WASATCH 005/160; DIRECT; CLB A MAINTAIN 10000 FT ETC... WE TOOK OFF FROM RWY 35 AND ACCORDING TO THE SID; FLEW HEADING 340 DEGS UNTIL REACHING THE WASACTH VOR. OVER THE VOR WE TURNED RIGHT N BOUND ONTO THE 005 DEG RADIAL. THIS COURSE HAD US HEADED FOR THE MOUNTAIN RANGE N OF SALT LAKE CITY AT AN ALT APPROX 2000 FT AGL BELOW THE TOPS. ONCE CONTACTING DEP CTL; WE WERE ISSUED A TERRAIN ALERT AND GIVEN A HEADING TO FLY TO AVOID THE MOUNTAIN RANGE. CORRECTION/PROBLEM: HAD CLRNC DELIVERY STATED IN THE CLRNC A TKOF HEADING (IE 340 DEGS) AND THEN RADAR VECTORS TO THE WASATCH 005/60; WE WOULD NOT HAVE TURNED N BOUND AT THE VOR. I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS SAME TYPE OF SCENARIO HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER AIRCREWS IN THE RECENT PAST. PLEASE CORRECT THE TERMINOLOGY IN THE ISSUED CLRNC TO INCLUDE A HEADING FOR TKOF AND EXPECT RADAR VECTORS TO THE WASATCH 005/60 FIX. THIS WILL ALLEVIATE ANY ERRORS; ANOMALIES; OR MISUNDERSTANDINGS IN THE ISSUED CLRNC. I DETERMINE THIS TO BE A GRAVE SAFETY CONCERN WHICH REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR CALLED THE S56 SUPERVISOR AS REQUESTED AFTER LNDG AT DESTINATION. THE SUPERVISOR SAID IF THE CREW HAD ESTABLISHED CONTACT WITH DEP CTL IMMEDIATELY AFTER TKOF THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN PUT ON A RADAR VECTOR.
