P Thompson Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I have noticed that STAR charts are not listed by a runway designation. How do you select a chart that is applicable to the runway information you need? I would appreciate any information concerning my problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeroen79 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 STARs do not lead to a runway but to the Initial Approach Fix (IAF) of one or more instrument approaches or to a point where you should expect radar vectoring towards an IAF. You should decide which runway you will land on and then choose a suitable instrument approach leading to that runway. Then you pick a STAR that connects where you are coming from to that instrument approach. If you are coming from the east then you should not pick a STAR that starts in the west. And if you want to start the approach from the south then you should pick a STAR that ends in the south. In the simulator this will be up to you. In real life ATC may offer some input. Charts for many airfields can be found online as pdfs. They will contain SIDs, STARs, airport diagrams and approach charts. Post a flight that you want to fly (departure, destination and route) and we can give you some more specific advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Yep. When you enter the STAR in the FMC you'll have a DISCO. You leave it at that in preparation to what ATC will give you. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
