Filing with a STAR

I'm going to be flying from ROC to BAF weekend after next. Just plugging
the end points into Aeroplanner gives me a nice simple route V2 ALB V146,
but I see that BAF has a STAR, SWEDE ONE. It's a bit longer than the
simple route, and since I've never flown that direction I don't know if I
should file what I want and expect them to reroute me along SWEDE ONE, or
should I just admit the inevitable and file SWEDE ONE? If I do that, how
do you put it in a flight plan? Is it V2 SYR V433 RKA RKA.SWEDE1?

So Linus, what are we doing tonight?
The same thing we do every night Tux. Try to take over the world!

Oh, and I just noticed the note for STELA that says "Expect to cross at
11,000". I don't think I want to climb that high.

You don't need to state RKA twice, and you need to connect with dots::

V2.SYR.V433.RKA.SWEDE1

Does it state on the STAR "For Turbojets?"

Nope. But three of the four transitions say "are high altitude only".
And SWEDE says "Expect to cross at or below FL230".

Its pretty rare that a STAR is actually given to a non-jet aircraft
though. Usually they want us away from the STAR so we don't get in the
way.

I'm guessing the STAR is there to avoid conflicts with jet traffic from
Bradley (BDL) to the South. I'd just file to BAF and expect vectors from
Bradley Approach. Of course, if you want to know for sure, you could take
out the A/FD and call Bradley and ask.

Ah, interesting. My only experience with STARs is flying into Ottawa
(CYOW), where they want me on CYRIL ONE every time. (And in that case, I
don't know if it's a cross border issue, but FSS won't let me file either
the waypoint CYRIL or the CYRIL ONE arrival, so I file direct from ART and
get a re-route as soon as I start talking to Wheeler Sack approach.
Fortunately I've already got it in my GPS because I've ready for them.)

That seems to depend on the local way of doing things. I've been given the
Trinity One STAR going into Houston many times, although recently it's been
an abbreviated version. Memory is dim, but I'm pretty sure I got a STAR
into Atlanta once, too.

Depends where you're at.
