"9.2.2.5.1
Amended en route
Except as stated in Clause 9.2.2.4.1, when an airways clearance is amended
en route, prefix the route and/or level information with the term 'RECLEARED' to indicate to the pilot that a change has been made to the previous clearance and this new clearance supersedes the previous clearance or part thereof.
See MATS 9.2.2.4.1 Exception
9.2.2.5.3
Level assignment
Assign a level with all clearance changes regardless of whether a change has been made to the cleared level.
9.2.8.5
9.2.8.5.1
Specify compliance
When an aircraft has commenced a STAR and published speed or level restrictions remain, indicate STAR compliance in all descent instructions e.g. '[WHEN READY]
DESCEND VIA STAR TO A100'.
No remaining published restrictions
If there are no remaining published restrictions on the STAR, the phrase
'DESCEND TO (level)' should be used."
appears to match the USA, UK and Europe manuals.
do you have any specific references?
of course one should consider if in radar contact and identified or not. One must consider any ATC making a mistake. Blindly following any clearance is not a good idea.
