Hi guys good evening or good morning. Who thinks on departure you tell ATC what SID your taking instead of saying departing west/east etc. Because in real life, ATC would know what SID your taking, for example xxx departing via the Liffey4A departure. (Dublin)I think this would be a better system. I think this should only be on expert server. If you really think about it we have this system for landing with the STAR. Let me know your opinions on it. I just thought id throw it out there.
i mean when you you tune into tower, instead of saying departing west/east you say what SID your taking. i did not see any other conflicting request or simler one
It may be different in the US. I fly out of a class D which gets some IFR departures and I’ve never heard them say that. Tower knows the SID you are taking irl I think. So like they’d go:
Santa Monica tower ExecJet 139 holding short of runway 21 at A5 ready for departure
You wouldn’t announce what SID you are taking on tower frequency. You are confusing it with departure
In Dublin the realistic procedure is that the aircraft contact departure (area control) and will announce their passing altitude and the SID they are taking. European and US procedures can differ
Exactly that’s why I said it’s like that in the US at least based on what I’ve heard. ATC wouldn’t have a problem if you said ready for departure via the SID but you check in with departure by the time your like 1000 feet up so tower doesn’t really need to know. Only departure would need to know since they’ll be controlling you when you are actually flying on the SID. Tower only has you for a short time when you are airborne departing.
