Narrative:
The new RNAV sids or possibly the stars have deleted any raw data information such as frequencys and radials. Most crews comment on the lack of backup information should it be needed to revert to in event of ground or aircraft equipment failure. Can the raw data be reinserted on the RNAV charts?
