My humble understanding is that somewhere in teh publications is a little note that says a SID/STAR can NOT be modified.. any variation transmission must start with "Cancel SID, Turn... blah blah" The readback is likewise "Cancel SID, Turn... blah blah". Why not same for a MAP? This is dragged up from a failing memory but rings bells from IR Training days in Oz.. (that'll get me shot down for sure).. but I see no reason why you couldn't say "Track via SID, Climb amended 3000" Flying these days in Western Europe I must say that I find adherence to good RT practices and standard phraseology to be somewhat wanting on occassions (and to keep me from bursting into flames.. teh UK and Germany are by far and away teh best IMVHO)
I would be interested in anyone with access to MATS letting us know what teh standard pharseologies are for these situations.
