(1) CLIMB VIA SID TO (level):

(i) climb to the cleared level and comply with published level restrictions;

(ii) follow the lateral profile of the SID; and

(iii) comply with published speed restrictions or ATC-issued speed control instructions as applicable.

(2) CLIMB VIA SID TO (level), CANCEL LEVEL RESTRICTION(S):

(i) climb to the cleared level; published level restrictions are cancelled;

(ii) follow the lateral profile of the SID; and

(iii) comply with published speed restrictions or ATC-issued speed control instructions as applicable.

(3) CLIMB VIA SID TO (level), CANCEL LEVEL RESTRICTION(S) AT (point(s)):

(i) climb to the cleared level; published level restriction(s) at the specified point(s) is (are) cancelled;

(ii) follow the lateral profile of the SID; and

(iii) comply with published speed restrictions or ATC-issued speed control instructions as applicable.

(4) CLIMB VIA SID TO (level), CANCEL SPEED RESTRICTION(S):

(i) climb to the cleared level and comply with published level restrictions;

(ii) follow the lateral profile of the SID; and

(iii) published speed restrictions and ATC-issued speed control instructions are cancelled.

(5) CLIMB VIA SID TO (level), CANCEL SPEED RESTRICTION(S) AT (point(s)):

(i) climb to the cleared level and comply with published level restrictions;

(ii) follow the lateral profile of the SID; and

(6) CLIMB UNRESTRICTED TO (level) or CLIMB TO (level), CANCEL LEVEL AND SPEED RESTRICTION(S):

(i) climb to the cleared level; published level restrictions are cancelled;

(iii) published speed restrictions and ATC-issued speed control instructions are cancelled.

(b) If there are no remaining published level or speed restrictions on the SID, the phrase CLIMB TO (level) should be used.

(c) When subsequent speed restriction instructions are issued, and if the cleared level is unchanged, the phrase CLIMB VIA SID TO (level) should be omitted.

(d) When a departing aircraft is cleared to proceed direct to a published waypoint on the SID, the speed and level restrictions associated with the bypassed waypoints are cancelled. All remaining published speed and level restrictions should remain applicable.

(e) When a departing aircraft is vectored or cleared to proceed to a point that is not on the SID, all published speed and level restrictions of the SID are cancelled and the air traffic controller should:

(1) reiterate the cleared level;

(2) provide speed and level restrictions as necessary; and

(3) notify the pilot if it is expected that the aircraft will be instructed to subsequently rejoin the SID.

(f) ATC instructions to an aircraft to rejoin a SID should include:

(1) the designator of the SID to be rejoined, unless advance notification of rejoining has been provided in accordance with point (e);

(2) the cleared level in accordance with point (a); and

(3) the position at which it is expected to rejoin the SID.
