IFR to PHX

I will be flying a C-340 IFR into PHX from the Los Angeles area via Blythe
and out of PHX to Sedona. Can anyone provide any likely arrival and
departure routings?

Lessee... Depending on from where in the LA Area you're
leaving, You're looking at TRM-BLH-BLH4 or TRM-BLH-ARLIN3 into PHX.
This is the perferred route into the Sun Valley area, so you'll be
flying along with every other major carrier with a Los Angeles area
flight to PHX. You could avoid this, by going the southern route, via
OCN-JLI-IPL-BZA-MOHAK.ARLIN3. However, depending on how high you fly,
you'll need the proper route (FL230 and lower will use BLH4; FL240 and
higher will use ARLIN3). My suggestion, is to avoid the traffic as much
as possible, take the southern route to avoid the mountains/density,
and fly the ARLIN arrival in.

As for KSEZ... If you're directly flying out of PHX, you have
your choice of the vectored or RNAV procedures. If you go RNAV, be sure
you're either /E, /F, /G, or /R equipped. Otherwise, use the vectored
departures. My suggestion: PHX SILOW1.SILOW direct. You can stay low on
this one, as the departure procedure is geared towards props. But once
you hit SILOW, a left turn to join the FLG R-183 inbound will take you
directly to the field.

Those are my thoughts, going directly off your question. Anyone
else more in the PHX area want to chip in?

Thank you for the informative reply on IFR routings to PHX from the LA area.
I do wish to avoid the commerical traffic and planned to file
SLI -V64-Blythe-V16- Buckeye. The Arlin Three and Blythe Four arrivals
appeared to be designed for the turbo's. The plane is /G and I most likely
will file the Silow One departure to Silow.

For Sedona, if the weather's good (and it usually is), why not just go VFR?
Just climb out to 6500 or so, and enjoy the scenery. Just aim for the San
Francisco peaks and Sedona is right on the direct path to FLG. The MEA's
are so high, going IFR is really more trouble than it's worth for such a
short trip.
