Standard Instrument Departures at Dublin Airport: Irish Aviation Authority
Mr. Declan Fitzpatrick:
The SIDs are designed to make it easy to follow and to minimise the amount of communications that are necessary, but at all times a pilot has primacy. If a pilot experiences any difficulty on an aircraft, he can communicate with ATC and say he has a problem and he needs to keep going straight ahead. That is perfectly allowable.
