Stars are the reverse of SIDS, specifically a set flight path for arrivals designed to fullfill noise abatement requirements, airspace segregation, maximum track handling capacity and to reduce pilot/controller workload and air/ground communications. They also provide assured tracking and stabilised approaches by allowing controllers and crews to base aircraft separation and profile on published tracks, with a STAR paired with a SID to maintain separation in the terminal area.
