1. INTRODUCTION In November 2016, ICAO introduced a number of new rules for aircraft cleared via SID and STAR procedures. To align with the international practice, Australia introduced the ICAO SID/STAR procedures in November 2017. 2. Summary A level instruction issued with the words "VIA SID" or "VIA STAR" alerts the pilot that they are flying a procedure with published restrictions that must be complied with. A level instruction without the word "VIA" re-enforces the pilot on a published procedure that there are no remaining published restrictions that the controller expects to be met. If a procedure has remaining published restrictions, level restrictions will only be issued without the word "VIA" if the controller explicitly cancelled them.
