SID Selection
Aircraft planned via CLIFT and MUNAR shall be assigned the Procedural SID that terminates at the appropriate SID terminus. Aircraft tracking to the north or south and not planned via any of these waypoints shall receive amended routing via the most appropriate SID terminus, unless the pilot indicates they are unable to accept a Procedural SID.
Aircraft that are unable to accept a Procedural SID shall be assigned the Radar SID.
