At an airport with multiple approaches, it still seems cumbersome spread out
all the approach plates to understand an enroute clearance. One or two would
be fine but airports like KFRG with 5 or 6 doesn't strike me as logical
since the winds aren't (and can't be) taken into account.

Well, now I know and I appreciate the new knowledge.

Thanks Bob,

Not at all unusual. You have to keep both the approach plate and low
altitude chart (or area chart) close at hand for reference.

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?

Marco Leon
