Air traffic in the vicinity of airports naturally becomes congested. Much like for automobile
traffic, specialized procedures have been developed to organize and expedite the flow of
aircraft into and out of terminal areas. These complicated and intricate procedures have been
encoded on:
1. SIDs.
2. STARs.
Instrument
Departure Procedures (DPs)
Instrument Departure Procedures (DPs) are preplanned IFR procedures that provide
obstruction clearance and facilitate transition from the terminal area to the en route
structure. Some DPs are specifically designed for use by aircraft with Area Navigation
(RNAV) equipment. There are two types of DPs:
Obstacle Departure Procedures (ODPs) are printed either textually or graphically to
assist pilots in obstruction avoidance, and may be flown by the pilot without an ATC
clearance, unless an alternate SID or radar vector has been assigned.
ODPs are identified by (OBSTACLE) appearing in the margin next to the name of
the departure procedure
ODPs are recommended when no SID or radar vector is assigned because they
provide obstruction clearance via the least difficult route.
Standard Instrument Departures (SIDs) are always printed graphically and must be
assigned by ATC.
NOTE: This lesson will cover SIDs, which are the most common type of DPs used by ATC.)
Each SID is presented as a separate chart and usually serves a single airport, but may
serve more than one airport if they are situated in the same geographical location.
Flight Management System Procedure (FMSP)
A procedure which is similar to a SID, and which is also designed to simplify clearance
delivery, is the Flight Management System Procedure (FMSP). FMSPs are used in
conjunction with a Flight Management System (FMS).
ATB20-4
There are 24 volumes of U.S. Terminal Procedures Charts for the continental United
States.
Published every 56 days
A change notice supplements these publications 28 days into the 56-day period,
and provides updated information to be included in the next publication cycle.
Currency of the volume to be used must always be ensured before use.
Back covers of every volume are identical.
Only charts pertinent to the local airspace are available at terminals and en route
control centers.

If a pilot does not wish to use a SID or Flight Management System Procedure (FMSP),
he/she is expected to advise ATC.
Although it is NOT required, pilots are encouraged to include the phrase, No SID, in

STARs are similar to SIDs, but are for arrival aircraft, providing guidance to an outer fix or
an instrument approach fix in the terminal area.
Unlike SIDs, which are located with the Instrument Approach Procedures and the Airport
Diagram, STARs have their own separate section in the front of the book.
(NOTE: There is only one type of STAR, but some STARs are specifically designed for use
by aircraft with Area Navigation (RNAV) equipment. )

Textual Description
The STAR begins at BDF VORTAC with the thick black line and terminates at ORD
VOR/DME with the thick black arrowhead.
STARs and their related transitions are long-range planning tools that funnel arrival traffic
into one-way corridors.
Example: The Kirksville Transition begins 241 NM from ORD and the BAYLI Transition 200
NM from ORD.
Frequencies/Navigational/Communications
Turbojet Vertical Navigation Planning Information is located at both the BDF VORTAC and
the Benky intersection.
They are both expect clearances, and not to be executed until the controller issues
the clearance.
