ARRIVALS
CAUTION: In case of disagreement between the published arrival information and the FMS displayed information,
the operator MUST follow the published arrival information.
INTRODUCTION
The complete arrival procedure, including Standard Arrival Route (STAR) and STAR transition can be loaded
into the route at the same time or in segments, depending on the ATC clearance received. The segments are
selected from lists of named procedures extracted from the navigation database for the destination airport.
When an arrival procedure is selected, the waypoints and procedural legs are extracted from the navigation
database, procedural leg types are decoded, and all resulting waypoints are inserted into the route in the correct
order.
The first waypoint of the STAR (or STAR transition) is linked to the coinciding waypoint of the en-route portion,
and subsequent en-route waypoints are deleted. If the first waypoint of the STAR (or STAR transition) does not
coincide with any en-route waypoint, then the STAR (or STAR transition) is separated from the en-route portion
by a route discontinuity. For certain types of STAR and transition, the waypoints may not be loaded into the
route until the approach is selected.
Approach transitions are appended to the route after the STAR and are usually separated from it by a route
discontinuity, unless the last waypoint of the STAR and the first waypoint of the approach transition are identical.
Arrival waypoints may include speed and altitude constraint advisories.
NOTE: When stringing STAR and Approach Transitions procedures at their common waypoint, if speed and/or
altitude constraints exist for this waypoint in both procedures, the constraint(s) from the Approach
transition are retained.
The Approach altitude/airspeed constraint(s) will probably be lower/slower than the STAR constraints.
