Standard instrument departure (SID) routes are published flight procedures followed by aircraft on an IFR flight plan immediately after takeoff from an airport. SIDs are one of the two types of departure procedures ( DP ); the other type being Obstacle Departure Procedures .
An aeronautical chart is a map designed to assist in the navigation of aircraft, much as nautical charts do for watercraft, or a roadmap does for drivers. Using these charts and other tools, pilots are able to determine their position, safe altitude, best route to a destination, navigation aids along the way, alternative landing areas in case of an in-flight emergency, and other useful ...
A SID, or Standard Instrument Departure, defines a pathway out of an airport and onto the airway structure. A SID is sometimes called a Departure Procedure (DP). SIDs are unique to the associated airport. A STAR, or Standard Terminal Arrival Route, ('Standard Instrument Arrival' in the UK) defines a pathway into an airport from the airway ...

An en-route (also known as en route [1] or enroute [2]) chart provides detailed information useful for instrument flight, including information on radionavigation aids (navaids) such as VORs and NDBs, navigational fixes (waypoints and intersections), standard airways, airport locations, minimum altitudes, and so on.
The clearance can also specify a departure procedure (DP) or standard instrument departure (SID) that should be followed unless "NO DP" is specified in the notes section of the filed flight plan. [citation needed] En route flight is described by IFR charts showing navigation aids, fixes, and standard routes called airways.
An aerodrome mapping database is a geographic information system (GIS) database to describe airports. The following standards have been defined by the RTCA and EUROCAE: . RTCA DO-272A/EUROCAE ED-99A: User requirements for aerodrome mapping information
STAR (standard terminal arrival route) SID (standard instrument departure) IAP (instrument approach procedure) - supports landing operation, usually starts in range of 10 to 20 NM before the runway threshold; MA (missed approach procedure) - usually linked to IAP procedure and published on the same chart
