Flyings IFR STARS or Arrival Procedures
91
Max talks in detail about IFR Arrival Procedures, also called
STARs. These are ATC-coded IFR route for IFR aircraft flying to a
specific airport. There are different kinds of clearances you can
get on an Arrival. If you're cleared to “descend VIA” an Arrival,
then you can descend at pilot discretion to reach all of the
published altitudes for each fix.
Some key takeaways for pilots should be:
1. Read the Arrival charts ahead of time to find all altitude and
speed restrictions.
2. Don’t descend automatically on an Arrival unless you been issued
a Descend Via clearance by ATC.
3. If you’re not able to make a speed or altitude crossing
restriction, notify ATC as soon as possible.
4. When loading an Arrival into your GPS, be aware that you may
have to load a transition, even if you’re not flying on a
transition, but have been cleared directly to the fix for which the
Arrival procedure is named.
5. Use the FLC or IAS mode on the autopilot to meet speed
restriction while descending.
