CifpSid

Standard Instrument Departure (SID) procedure records parsed from FAA CIFP (Coded Instrument Flight Procedures) in ARINC 424 format

Source: CIFPTable: CIFP_SIDVersion: 239462ba9c35 (effective 2026-04-16)

Each row represents one leg/sequence step within a SID procedure. A complete SID is identified by AIRPORT_IDENTIFIER + SID_STAR_APPROACH_IDENTIFIER + ROUTE_TYPE + TRANSITION_IDENTIFIER. Multiple ICAO_CODE and SECTION_CODE columns reference different navaids/fixes used within the same record.
