  • Chapter 5. Air Traffic Procedures › Section 4. Arrival Procedures › 5-4-1. Standard Terminal Arrival (STAR) Procedures

    STAR is an ATC coded IFR arrival route established for application to arriving IFR aircraft destined for certain airports. STARs simplify clearance delivery procedures, and also facilitate transition between en route and instrument approach procedures. 1. STAR procedures may have ... mandatory speeds and/or crossing altitudes published. Other STARs may have planning information depicted to inform pilots what clearances or restrictions to “expect.” “Expect” altitudes/speeds are not considered STAR procedures crossing restrictions unless verbally issued by ATC. Published speed restrictions…

    clearance for a SID which does not contain published crossing restrictions, and/or is a SID with a Radar Vector segment or a Radar Vector SID, will be issued using the phraseology “Maintain (altitude).” 6. A clearance for a SID which ... contains published altitude restrictions may be issued using the phraseology “climb via.” Climb via is an abbreviated clearance that requires compliance with the procedure lateral path, associated speed and altitude restrictions along the cleared route or procedure. Clearance to “climb…

  • Chapter 5. Air Traffic Procedures › Section 4. Arrival Procedures › 5-4-9. Procedure Turn and Hold-in-lieu of Procedure Turn

    pilots elect to make additional circuits to lose excessive altitude or to become better established on course, it is their responsibility to so advise ATC upon receipt of their approach clearance. 6. A procedure turn is not required when ... such cases, the term “NoPT” is used with the appropriate course and altitude to denote that the procedure turn is not required. If a procedure turn is desired, and when cleared to do so by ATC, descent below the procedure…

  • Chapter 5. Air Traffic Procedures › Section 4. Arrival Procedures › 5-4-6. Approach Clearance

    arrival hold is depicted using a “thin line” since it is not always a mandatory part of the instrument procedure. (a) Arrival holding is charted where holding is frequently required prior to starting the approach procedure so that detailed holding ... instructions are not required. The arrival holding pattern is not authorized unless assigned by ATC. Holding at the same fix may also be depicted on the en route chart. (b) Arrival holding is also charted where it is necessary…

  • Chapter 5. Air Traffic Procedures › Section 4. Arrival Procedures › 5-4-10. Timed Approaches from a Holding Fix

    When a teardrop procedure turn is depicted and a course reversal is required, this type turn must be executed. 3. When a holding pattern replaces a procedure turn, the holding pattern must be followed, except when RADAR VECTORING is provided ... when NoPT is shown on the approach course. The recommended entry procedures will ensure the aircraft remains within the holding pattern’s protected airspace. As in the procedure turn, the descent from the minimum holding pattern altitude to the final…

  • 14 CFR Part 141, Appendix J to Part 141—Aircraft Type Rating Course, For Other Than an Airline Transport Pilot Certificate

    Airline Transport Pilot Certificate (1) A type rating for an airplane—single-engine course: (i) Preflight preparation; (ii) Preflight procedures; (iii) Takeoff and departure phase; (iv) In-flight maneuvers; (v) Instrument procedures; (vi) Landings and approaches to landings; (vii) Normal ... abnormal procedures; (viii) Emergency procedures; and (ix) Postflight procedures. (2) A type rating for an airplane—multiengine course: (i) Preflight preparation; (ii) Preflight procedures; (iii) Takeoff and departure phase; (iv) In-flight maneuvers; (v) Instrument procedures; (vi) Landings and approaches…
