Both of these two sorties are related to SIDs and STARs.

SID - Standard Instrument Departure
STAR - Standard Instrument Arrival

Without going into the details, they are just standard procedures to depart and also to land at an airfield. Again, these procedures are listed in the charts for pilots to refer during flight.

Eg: ANDOK SID - take off Runway 21, climb to 500feet, turn left heading 205 climb 1000feet, then turn left heading 130 to intercept Radial 155 VPL to Andok and further climb to 8000feet.


So instead of such a long instruction, it is simplified to just ANDOK DEPARTURE.

Just in LGK here alone, we have more than 10 SIDs and STARs combined!

Tomorrow will have a tougher sortie to fly: Airways.
