You can add pilot-nav Standard Instrument Departures (SIDs) and Standard Terminal Arrivals (STARs)to your FliteStar route after entering a route with a departure and destination. A pilot-nav SID, as opposed to a vector SID, is one that has specific waypoints and altitudes as part of the procedure.
NOTE | When selecting a procedure, verify with your paper or electronic terminal charts that the procedure is still valid and has not been replaced or modified. Navigational data is updated every 28 days, so changes during the previous 28 days may not occur until the next update cycle. |

Click Preflight > Add/Replace SID for [Route].
