Flew my first SID
After 21 years of being instrument rated, I flew my first SID this week.
Departing KPBI on Thursday afternoon, bound for the first fix, LBV (LaBelle VOR). Normally, I file NO SIDS OR STARS in the remarks section. This time I forgot and they gave it to me. |

What's not to like about having in your hands a published graphical diagram and printed text to supplement the verbal clearance? |

What's not to like about having in your hands a published graphical diagram and printed text to supplement the verbal clearance? There is no graphic for the procedure. There are five text instructions, depending on what type of hardware you are flying and what runway you are assigned. I read the wrong instruction based on the departure runway I was given, missed the hardware note and was corrected on my switch to departure. By adding the NO SIDS OR STARS remark, I am usually given a more simple, expedited departure and only fly radar vectors and altitude assignments. (that should have been 26 years, not 21) |

If you don't accept a SID or STAR, they have to give you your clearance orally over the freq. That means you don't have to find it in the book and read it out of the book. You can just fly it (perhaps with some notes). |

Which means you don't have a diagram of it, and you have do a lot more writing, with the added possibility of error. Sorry, I'm not seeing the advantage here. -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ It's better to be on the ground wishing you were flying, than up there wishing you were on the ground. |

It all depends. If you don't take the SID, you usually get vectors.

Actually, the airport I get SID most often is CYOW (Ottawa), and the OTTAWA ONE (which seems to alternately get renamed OTTAWA SIX every time I turn around) involves vectors to the line between ASHTN and REEDO - but the SID also includes the altitude restrictions which is better than having to copy them. -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ You'll get access to my computer room right after you pry the Halon test key out of my cold, lifeless hands. -- Simon Travaglia |

Most SIDs are so simple they don't seem worth writing down. Many of
them are just heading/altitude that gets reassigned as soon as the gear enters the wells anyway. -Robert |
