Clearance with an Odd Intersection
Has anyone received a route clearance that included an intersection that was
only on an approach chart and not in an Enroute Chart? Flew IFR from FRG to GON with the following clearance: Farmingdale Three, radar vectors BDR, direct MAD, MAD 126 radial to MONDI, direct. For the life of me I couldn't find MONDI on the enroute. However, it was in my (up-to-date) Garmin 430 database and it was pretty much on the way (albeit a bit of a dogleg) so I didn't make it an issue. Turns out MONDI is only on the KGON ILS RWY 5 and it's not even an IAF. The GPS RWY 33 was the active approach which made it even more difficult to figure out. Is this commom anywhere else? Should they have told me it was only on an IAP chart? Are all the fixes on any of a given airport's approach charts fair-game to include in an enroute clearance? Regards, Marco Leon |

The ATC specialist who figures out the clearance may not even know what charts it's on.

So if I had queried the controller, then we'd have both been in the dark? Sounds like we would have spent quite a bit of time looking. Well, if I have to spread out my IAP charts, then I will. *sigh* Thanks, Marco Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Never launch on a clearance you have not thoroughly reviewed for accuracy, fix by fix, right to the ground. That way, you won't find yourself airborne reworking your clearance to nowhere out with a controller (assuming your radio is working at the time). |

I did review them but I concentrated on the GPS 33 considering the winds
were 310. To be honest, I didn't think I needed to scour the approach charts to verify my enroute clearance. Besides, the routing as mapped out on the GPS verified that it was not a "route-to-nowhere" which is why I took off. I also had another intersection in mind right next to it (BOROS) that was on the enroute charts that I can follow if there was a mistake. Regardless, I agree with your advice that one should know their entire route clearance before departure. Marco wrote in message ...

Marco,
If you filed /G then the controller will not even ask. They know it is in the Nav Database.

Now THAT makes sense. Is that a common thing with the air carriers?
