jparnold Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 The Nov/Dec issue of PC Pilot (the latest available in Australia) has an article on the A320 family which ends with a description of the flight plan for the YMML (Melbourne) to YSSY (Sydney) route, described as a busy route, which states (for the arrival into YSSY) - "Hence the SIDs will only take you so far before ATC will vector you to the relevant ILS final approach fix. The typical SID for arrivals from the south are to track to RIVET or TAMMI intersections....." - highlighting by me not in the article. I am only a beginner but I thought STARs were used for arrival at an airport not SIDs. Is it an error or am I missing something?

lnuss Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Well, in the U.S. STARs are for arrivals... :pilot: Good catch. Larry N. As Skylab would say: Remember: Aviation is NOT an exact Science! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am only a beginner but I thought STARs were used for arrival at an airport not SIDs. Is it an error or am I missing something? Standard Terminal Arrival = STAR Standard Instrument Departure = SID A Standard Instrument Departure Route (SID) is a standard ATS route identified in an instrument departure procedure by which aircraft should proceed from take-off phase to the en-route phase. A Standard Arrival Route (STAR) is a standard ATS route identified in an approach procedure by which aircraft should proceed from the en-route phase to an initial approach fix. I am not aware of SIDS as STARS, or vice versa. They are standardised terms. I would say they are in error, but I am not an expert on Aussie flying.

il88pp Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 without the context it's umpozsible to say if course. I'm sure that would have made more clear what's meant. (The title of the article. The whole text. etc. (For one, sentences don't start with "Hence".) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparnold Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) Thanks for all your replies. Firstly the magazine is produced in ENGLAND as well as the fact that although we are "the land downunder" air flights follow international 'rules'. without the context it's umpozsible to say if course. I'm sure that would have made more clear what's meant. (The title of the article. The whole text. etc. (For one, sentences don't start with "Hence".) Regardless of grammar the sentence DOES start with HENCE.
