Hello,

Is there a place on the Internet to find the daily use SIDs and STARs and the runways at certain airport? Lots of airports have many runways, SIDs, STARs but in real life only use couple of them as main. For example, my local airports can have 2 pages of approaches but use mainly couple of them for each runway.

Just want to be as real as it can get.

Thank you

Hoang,

In the US, the SIDs and STARs that are used for each airport are largely dependent on the  city pairs, e.g. KORD to KJFK.  In the US, we use IFR Preferred Routes and Coded Departure Routes (CDRs).  CDRs are used mainly by ATC to route-around constrained airspace/routes, for example if a severe weather event occurs.  IFR Preferred Routes are just what the name implies, routes between city pairs that the FAA expects users to file in their IFR flight plan.  Both the CDRs and Preferred IFR routes will list SIDs and STARs that should be used at these airports.

You can look up CDR routes and Preferred IFR (NFDC) routes on the FAA's Air Traffic Command Center's website's Route Management Tool:

Route Management Tool (faa.gov)

Not all SIDs and STARs are used at airports, but one rule of thumb is that if you are RNAV equipped and qualified, you should file and use an RNAV SID or RNAV STAR. 

Europe also has a route management too.  SimBrief and PPFPX both have internal links that will validate the selected flight plan for the correct route and SID/STAR.

FlightAware and FlightRadar24 also have places where you can see the frequent routes between city pair, including SIDs and STARs.

Hope this helped?
