I'm going to be flying from ROC to BAF weekend after next. Just plugging
the end points into Aeroplanner gives me a nice simple route V2 ALB V146,
but I see that BAF has a STAR, SWEDE ONE. It's a bit longer than the

Its pretty rare that a STAR is actually given to a non-jet aircraft
though. Usually they want us away from the STAR so we don't get in the
way.


Ah, interesting. My only experience with STARs is flying into Ottawa
(CYOW), where they want me on CYRIL ONE every time. (And in that case, I
don't know if it's a cross border issue, but FSS won't let me file either
the waypoint CYRIL or the CYRIL ONE arrival, so I file direct from ART and
get a re-route as soon as I start talking to Wheeler Sack approach.
Fortunately I've already got it in my GPS because I've ready for them.)
