"Viperdoc" wrote in message ... Recently I was arriving from the southwest to my home base of UES (Waukesha, WI), and was given the Veena arrival. However, the Veena arrival is not listed as a STAR to Waukesha, but is under the section for Milwaukee, which is around 20 miles away (in the Jepp charts). The Veena One arrival is listed as a STAR to Waukesha in the NACO plates. Perhaps you should complain to Jeppesen. Waukesha is not under the class C area of MKE. On the chart there is no listed transition to Waukesha. However, one of the fixes on the star is the Badger VOR, which is the IAF for several approaches into Waukesha. But Waukesha is depicted on the STAR, as are Timmerman, Racine, and Kenosha. Airspace delegated to an approach control facility tends to be considerably larger than any Class C airspace it may contain. There is also a nearby class C, which is Madison. Yes, but UES is in controlled airspace delegated to Milwaukee approach. If unfamiliar, issuing a clearance with a STAR to a nearby airport might be confusing. If suddenly going nordo where should one land- at the original airport or follow the complete transition into the class C? (I know this is a somewhat academic question) The VEENA 1 says you "From VEENA INT proceed direct IAF for destination airport" in the event of lost communications. Is this a common practice for controllers? Yup. I could see it producing some confusion by pilots if unfamiliar with the area. Using NACO charts it is easy to look up, but in the Jepps it could be very difficult to find. Well, that's a shortcoming of Jeppesen. |
