What is an example of a hybrid SID?

A hybrid Standard Instrument Departure (SID) is characterized by its combination of both preplanned routes and radar vectors provided by air traffic control. This means that part of the departure process follows a fixed, predetermined path, while other segments may require pilots to make adjustments based on air traffic control guidance, often leading to optimized departure routes or avoiding congestion.

These procedures are especially beneficial in busy airspace where implementing a fully standard route might not be practical due to varying traffic conditions. The inclusion of radar vectors allows for flexibility and improved traffic management, ensuring that air traffic controllers can guide aircraft efficiently through the departure phase while still adhering to a general route structure.

In contrast, options that describe standard procedures with no vectors or non-standard visual flight procedures lack this combination of flexibility and structure, making them unsuitable examples of hybrid SIDs. Additionally, procedures that are conducted solely by military aircraft do not encapsulate the characteristics of a hybrid SID as they do not incorporate the civilian traffic management aspects typically associated with such procedures.
