| What is a SID? |
| A SID (=Standard Instrument Departure) is a certain published procedure to follow after take off to get you from the runway to the airway. Every big or small airport usually has different SID's for all it's runways to several directions. Each SID connects to an airway and is usually named after their entry point to the airway. |
|
| What is a STAR? |
| STAR's (=Standard Terminal Arrival Route) are routes to get you from the airway to a waypoint called the IAF (=Initial Approach Fix). At the IAF's, the approach procedure will start. This is usually done with radar vectors and in some cases by a standard published procedure as it can be found on the charts. |
