How often are SIDS/STARS overridden by ATC?

Featured Replies

I'm mainly wondering as this applies to larger airliners.  IOW, how often does commercial aviation not use SIDS/STARS?

If  they’re available we’ll flight plan and use them.

On the day the traffic situation maybe that it is more beneficial for ATC to give you a direct to a fix either just after take off or a short cut  on the way in, but we always assume we’ll be flying the whole SID or STAR

At least in the USA, it depends on the traffic level and where you are. I've been on SIDs and STARs in the North East and get vectored off of them a lot. I've departed KLGA and immediately after lift off, I get vectors for traffic. Coming back into the DC area from the South, I will get a STAR and they will modify the descent a lot. They tend to keep you high and then descend you in stages instead of descending you via the STAR. They slam dunk you every time. But, going South to KMIA, I get the STAR early on and normally fly it to the T.
