DEPARTURES
CAUTION: In case of disagreement between the published SID information and FMS displayed information, the
operator MUST follow the published SID directives.
INTRODUCTION
The complete departure procedure, including Standard Instrument Departure (SID) and SID transition, can be
loaded into the route at the same time or in segments, depending on the ATC clearance received. The
segments are selected from lists of named procedures extracted from the navigation database for the specified
origin airport.
When a SID is selected, the waypoints and procedural legs are extracted from the navigation database,
procedural leg types are decoded, and all resulting waypoints are inserted into the route.
SID transitions are appended to the route after the SID and are usually separated from it by a route
discontinuity, unless the last waypoint of the SID and the first waypoint of the en-route portion of the route are
identical. Figure 4-1 shows a typical SID and SID transition.
The SID transition is linked to the appropriate waypoint of the en-route portion, and enroute waypoints preceding
the intersecting waypoints are deleted. If there is no SID transition, the SID is separated from the en-route
portion by a route discontinuity. For certain types of SID and transition, the waypoints may not be loaded into
the route until the runway is selected.
ATC clearances which modify the selected SID procedures can be incorporated by selection of the new
procedure while the aircraft is still on ground. This results in the automatic deletion of the waypoints associated
with the cancelled procedure.
