Hi everyone,
A couple of questions about SID/STARs:
Thanks! |

Thanks! have a look at THIS In the UK there are some regional differences to the above. I’ll post a link as soon as I can unless someone else does it before :8 Cheers. |

Hello,
have a look at THIS In the UK there are some regional differences to the above. I’ll post a link as soon as I can unless someone else does it before :8 Cheers. Just need an answer to my 4th question then, which isn't SID/STAR related! |

Thanks that's a good document! Basically got an answer to my first 3 questions ☺

The technical answer is no because there can't be a clearance restriction placed on a point you are not cleared via. But it introduces an element of doubt, otherwise you wouldn't be asking. ATC could/should anticipate this and clarify/confirm and in the absence of that, you seek confirmation. Much safer.

In radar contact?
I understand that radar contact puts the responsibility onto the shoulders of ATC and you're now following a new clearance. Of course with sensible situational awareness on your part, since ATC can make mistakes.
Enroute or before departure, a good scan of the other SIDs and STARs will give you an overview of the area, thus increasing your SA. Fourth question: if ATC gives a new clearance, and does not restate the previous restrictions, they no longer apply. |

from 7110.65AA the FAA ATC Bible…
https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/...0-23_FINAL.pdf
4.2.1… b. When route or altitude in a previously issued clearance is amended, restate all applicable altitude restrictions. EXAMPLE− 1. (A departing aircraft is cleared to cross Ollis intersection at or above 3,000; Gordonsville VOR at or above 12,000; maintain FL 200. Shortly after departure the altitude to be maintained is changed to FL 240. Because altitude restrictions remain in effect, the controller issues an amended clearance as follows): “Amend altitude. Cross Ollis intersection at or above Three Thousand; cross Gordonsville V−O−R at or above One Two Thousand; maintain Flight Level Two Four Zero.” (Shortly after departure, altitude restrictions are no longer applicable, the controller issues an amended clearance as follows): “Climb and maintain Flight Level Two Four Zero.” 2. (An aircraft is cleared to climb via a SID with published altitude restrictions. Shortly after departure the top altitude is changed to FL 230 and compliance with the altitude restrictions is still required, the controller issues an amended clearance as follows): “Climb via SID except maintain Flight Level Two Three Zero.” NOTE− 1. Restating previously issued altitude to “maintain” is an amended clearance. If altitude to “maintain” is changed or restated, whether prior to departure or while airborne and previously issued altitude restrictions are omitted, altitude restrictions are canceled, including SID/STAR altitude restrictions if any. i’m sure EASA or the UK ATC ‘bibles’ have similar ‘verses.’ from CAP 493 Amendments to Clearances When an amendment is made to a clearance the new clearance shall be read in full to the pilot and shall automatically cancel any previous clearance. Controllers must be aware, therefore, that if the original clearance included a restriction, e.g. “cross ABC FL150 or below” then the issue of a revised clearance automatically cancels the earlier restriction, unless it is reiterated with the revised clearance. Similar care must be exercised when a controller issues a clearance, which amends the vertical profile of an aircraft on a SID. For example, “climb now FL120” automatically cancels the vertical profile of the SID. If the profile contains a restriction that provides vertical separation from conflicting traffic on another SID, the restriction must be reiterated, e.g. “climb now FL120 cross XYZ 5000 feet or above”, unless separation is ensured by other means. Similarly, when controllers issue instructions which amend the SID route, they are to confirm the level profile to be followed, e.g. “fly heading 095, climb now FL80” or “route direct EFG, stop climb at altitude 5000 feet”. it might not be the most exciting or glamorous pilot activity, but I would suggest you read those big volumes from FAA, CAA, EASA (whatever it is called now) and those of any country you will be based in. |
Thanks 70 Mustang! I've been looking through those documents but I never find what I need for some reason 😁

Download the docs in PDF...
Then you can use a search function.
But truthfully, in both the FAA and CAP, a simple look into the table of contents does wonders. |

If you have been given a level restriction and subsequently get cleared to a lower level the restrictions still apply. If they give you another level restriction it now supersedes the previous restriction. Not sure of the rules in the US

Carefully read the sources already given...
Climbing or descending: if a new altitude or flight level is given, and a prior restriction is not repeated, it no longer applies. Works in the USA, Canada, Europe, China, everywhere. Of course one should keep terrain, mountains in mind due to possible human mistakes. STARs and approaches may have restrictions, and they will say, descend according to the procedure or something to that effect. When in doubt, clarify then and there. Keeping a decent descent rate may get close to those previous restrictions and staying on the VNAV path will not be a problem, unless they ask for a quicker descent or climb rate or they've cut your track distance in half with a shortcut.

That doesn't apply in Australia, I know that from experience. Previous restrictions apply :ugh:Like anywhere, if unsure, ask.

EGGW. Air Services Austrailia and Department of Defence Valid from 2309061600 Next issue effective 2311291600 "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. |
It's 2023, how come we don't see these questions answered in the way the OP has phrased them?

I don't follow...

All the OP's questions will be answerd with just a bit of focused homework. Not much will fall into one's lap in aviation. |
2.1 For all stages of flight, clearances to climb or descend cancel any previous restrictions or levels, unless they are reiterated as part of the clearance.
This is from NATS so I stand corrected. Glad I checked |
