Flying SID or STAR: no contact with ATC?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim (More info?)

When flying a SID or STAR in real life or at IVAO/VATSIM, are you (as being
the pilot) allowed to fly the entire SID/STAR without contacting the ATC? Or
do you have to wait until ATC orders you to goto a certain
heading/speed/altitude? Or do you have to tell ATC when going to a certain
heading/speed/altitude?

Above are three possible solutions, which is the right one?

TIA!

Henk,

Your clearance will always be valid till a certain point. You may need
however still be required to give one or two position reports, depending on
the situation. For instance, using your SID, you may be cleared "SID such
and so", call passing FL050 (Europe) and upon reaching FL200. So you are
cleared to make all the turns as described in the SID and give a call in
time before reaching FL 180. Very well possible you will be handed over to
Dutch Mill Upper where you need to get further clearance enroute and for
higher altitude.

Does this help a little?

Repaired a typo... FL 180 instead of 200

Thanks Loek, this is exactly the answer to what I did'n't know!
