The BMRNG TWO RNAV Departure (JEPP 10-3A-1 19JUN15) out of SJC is unclear whether you climb to 3;000 feet and maintain it; or continue climb past 3;000 feet while expecting vectors for the other fixes.This I believe could cause a future problem with an altitude deviationChange the wording to 'Climb and Maintain' or 'While Climbing Expect'.
An air carrier pilot questioned the SJC BMRNG2 RNAV Departure wording clarity about 'CLIMB TO 3;000 feet'. Should the climb continue while expecting vectors or should the statement be 'CLIMB TO AND MAINTAIN 3;000 feet EXPECT VECTORS'?
