Found this with a quick Google



In short, yes the aircraft do follow named "SID's" (Standard Instrument Departures) and "STAR's (Standard Arrival Routes) which are named after waypoints at the end of or the beginning of the route.

The chart shows erroneously "EGGP" (Liverpool) twice, the right hand of the two near MCT is where Manchester airport is (it should read EGCC). Blue and orange tracks are departures, red are arrivals and green is Liverpool.

The ILS extends out as far as radio waves will allow, although in practice 25 miles is normally the maximum (a quick search on PPRuNe would answer that for you, it's been covered many times)

Must speed up my typing, TCF beat me to it!
