Most major airports will have a selection of Standard Instrument Departures (SIDs) and Standard Arrival Routes (STARs). They are transition procedures between the terminal environment and the en route environment designed to separate air traffic and take into account noise abatement, terrain restrictions etc.

A Flight Management System (FMS) has a navigation database which stores up to date navigation information, it includes the following data:

• Airports
• Navaids
• Airways
• Waypoints
• Runways
• SID, STARS, and approach procedures
• Magnetic variation.

When pilots initialise the FMS before departure they'll enter the departure and arrival airports (where am I, where am I going?) into the CDU before moving on to select an appropriate SID and STAR (how will I get there?).

There is no need for the pilot to manually enter the name of the SID/STAR because the FMS will display a list of names, retreived from the navigation database, to choose from.

The figures show a list of Birmingham (EGBB) SIDs presented to the pilot on the departures page and a list of STARs to choose from for arrival at Heathrow (EGLL).

Note: You can view SIDs and STARs using an electronic flight bag (EFB) but you can't upload them to the aircraft for navigational use.
