Line Up and Wait
Tonight I have been studying arrival procedures prepping for the II ride and now I have a couple of questions. First, I have been unable to locate a STAR into PHX which does not say "turbojet or turbo-prop aircraft only". Is that common for larger airports? DFW stars do not have the same restriction. I can see why they wouldn't want slow a/c mixing it up with the jet traffic. Should most piston singles just expect vectors? I flew IFR into Chandler which is one of the outlying airports under the PHX class B, I filed to a fix on the arrival and as expected got a change to my routing from center, however once on with PHX and when I was able, requested direct CHD and got it. Do any of you routinely receive or request stars(or DP's for that matter) as part of your routing?
