Now, a follow on question has surfaced. My flight plan in the 480 was
merely KRHV to KSNS with no other waypoints. This was actually my
clearance (radar vectors, direct).

I'm confused if you weren't cleared to EWTOF I'd just start out
going direct KSNS and not load an approach until I was cleared
for it (how do you know what you are going to get?).
