Hi captain i have a question, how can we know if a SID or a STAR is available/aprooved for us to use and how can we know which SID and STAR we have to choose? And what’s the procedure to follow when there’s not SIDs or STARs at an airport (with or without ATC)? And an important question is, if we have already a flight plan and the ATC changes or says that we have to follow a different departure or arrival procedure, we need to change our flight plan or just ignore the procedures we put into it and follow ATC instructions? And what we need to do if our flight in mid-air changes from VFR to IFR or vice-versa? If they are too many questions sorry but these are massive questions i had in all this time i’ve been in the aviation world
Hey, great questions!!In order to choose the right SID or STAR You need to have the updated charts, you need to make sure that the procedure you are choosing is allowed at the time of your flight ( you can find this info on the chart) and you need to check you are aircraft is equipped to fly the procedures (R-Nav or conventional ecc ecc) and, you need to check that the aircraft performance meet the procedure requirements. If the ATC change you flight plan procedure you simply fly what the ATC tell you. No need to file an other flight plan. I hope I answered your questions.
AND a big question i had was, how do we send our flight plan to ATC or how the system of ATC interacting with us and our flight plan works? Sorry for too many questions i really don’t know 😆
No problem!! Yours are very good questions, the ATC has the flight plan in the system and, if something is wrong they talk to the pilots using the Radios.
@@PILOTCLIMB I stumbled upon this question similar to mine. So they have the plan, but they can change it on the fly (no pun intended) if something changes. You may have the original plan in mind as a pilot, but the ATC can reroute you for reasons they might not even explain due to radio efficiency right? I've heard some ATC exchanges where pilot asks reason why for the change. Then ATC may clear things up, but at the end of the day, unless pilot is really unable to comply, that seems to be what pilots must do immediately. There is a LOT of trust involved.
@@rohrichoak9740 Well as the aviation depends in the ATC because they have airspaces controlled and all the information they need to manage the traffic, you might fly what ATC tells you in case of mid-air flight plan change, and in case of no-ATC flight, i think you need to have at least a minimum of references for the alternative route you can take in case of mid-air flight plan change, it’s easy, but i think that information can be incluided somewhere in the FAA official web page, i know there are many aviation agencies arround the world so you might search on them and most importantly on the FAA’s web page, they have really REALLY useful information.
@@rohrichoak9740 You are right!! The thing is that as Captain you have the ultimate responsibility of the Operations of the Aircraft, so... Always try to help ATC when they change the route/procedures but be vigilant at all times and if in doubt ask for clarifications. That's the way we operate. I'm very happy to read such good quality comments👍
👇Comment below with your questions and thoughts 👇
From the previous videos of star and sid departures to climb gradient nd this videos give us easy flight planning thank you Capt
You are welcome!! I'm glad the video helped you!! I wish you a great day!
Capt thanks this was avery good lesson u breakdown very hard concepts to be understandable.🙌
Many thanks for your comment!!I'm glad the video helped you! Have a great day
Great Video. Thanks. Question...I see you were flying the Pozzo 6D SID. Could you have chosen the Pozzo 8A to cut out some distance?
Thanks for watching! You could, it must be coordinated with ATC
What an absolute helpful video
Many thanks for watching and the kind comment

@@PILOTCLIMB Wow thanks for answering 🙏
Hi Gabrielle, which is the web site that you use for calculate the route?
Hey, I use simbrief.com
@@PILOTCLIMB thanks so much!!
