Default 737 vs glider

Funny you mention STAR's. Dingo is a point 10 miles NW of El Tiro gliderport and most traffic comes right over the top of us on the 115 degree heading. El Tiro has been operating sailplanes for 34 years. Victor 105 and Victor 16 are both to our west and east and would go a long way to deconflict traffic. .

Dingo 5 arrival

In the Pinal Airpark and El Tiro area you are closer to actual ILS arrivals and departures so more need to look at those as well and you'll notice for example ILS approaches going to the TACUB fix kind of between El Tiro and Pinal Airpark. That may be part of the ATC concern here, and I who knows what the Air Force traffic is doing in that area. All good things to hear from the ATC folks.

You can go to https://www.aopa.org/airports/TUS and download a combined PDF of all the approaches plates, STARs etc. that makes it easy to review.

You can also look up any fix etc. location at from the FAA e.g. https://nfdc.faa.gov/nfdcApps/servic...eyw ord=TACUB

And add those fixed to Google earth or SeeYou etc. to help visualize things while looking at the procedures.
