I've never flown a jet airway (and probably never will, except on an
airliner), but here's a question. There are fewer J routes than V, and
they connect fewer navaids. So it can happen that your destination is
quite far from the nearest high-altitude navaid or interaction. Do you
still file direct from the closest high-alt waypoint, go direct to a
nearby navaid, or use low-altitude routes for your arrival?

Ari.

If the destination is a major airport there will usually be a
high-altitude VOR in the proper position. Or, there will be a STAR
routing which, although it may use low-alitude VORs, it has been flight
inspected to be useable at the altitudes expected.

For flights into remote areas that may not have a nearby high VOR (unusal,
but possible) filing of a Victor airway for the last 200 miles, or so, is
acceptable, or even "the radials of V-999."
