Practice question
If an aircraft departing on a published Standard Instrument Departure (SID) is assigned a radar vector by ATC that takes it off the lateral track of the SID, what is the status of the published SID altitude and speed constraints?
- The SID route and its vertical/speed profiles are cancelled; the controller must issue explicit level and speed clearances
- The aircraft must continue to climb and level off at all SID profile altitudes while on the vector heading
- The pilot must immediately declare an emergency and turn back to the SID track
- The SID speed limits remain active but the aircraft must descend to the minimum vectoring altitude
Answer: A — The SID route and its vertical/speed profiles are cancelled; the controller must issue explicit level and speed clearances
