I am looking at the STAR procedure naming for KSEA:
http://www.naco.faa.gov/digital_tpp_search.asp?fldIdent=SEA&fld_ident_type=FAA&fldCity=&fldAPName=&st=WA&fullName=Washington&ver=0609&eff=08-31-2006&end=09-28-2006

CHINS FIVE
EPHRATA SIX
GLASR SIX
JAWBN NINE

What do the digits mean in the procedure name?

Thanks!

Those numbers are just revision numbers. When the CHINS 5 is altered or revised, it will be the CHINS 6. 🙂

Thanks! But I thought there already was one versioning system (the expiration date). Maybe the STAR version is there to alert about significant changes... ❓

That's what I meant by altered. The date will expire without any changes but alterations(changes to the procedure) will cause a change in the number. Also note that only NACO (Government) charts have expiration dates. The charts used by almost every Airline, Jeppesen, don't have expiration dates on the charts. They have a different revision system that shows effective dates. 🙂

Oh ok thanks 😀

So in one of the SIDS in Dublin Intl (EIDW) on runway 28 for is called TOLKA1A, is the 1 in this case the number that refers to the expiry date?

Thanks

No, the Expiration date will be in small letters on the edge of the page(US charts, not sure about Europe). The name of the SID has nothing to do with the expiration of that chart. The charts in the US are updated every 56 days with change notices(small bulletins) every 28 days. 🙂
