SIDS/STARS name updates?
Hiya, what exactly is required to upgarde a DEPSID 1 designator to become a DEPSID 2 departure?
I've just trawled through my Jeppesen updates for Friday 26th December (one day late - my bad), which involved many SIDS and STARS changes.
Some were just frequency changes of an en-route VOR, some were complete changes in the order of the names of the waypoints - though the physical track route seemed to stay the same.
Not one of them generated an update of the designator.
Surely the whole point of the designator is to confirm that the pilot is reading the correct plate - what's the point of them changing the information, but not the designator?
I'm missing something.
