STAR to nearby airport
Recently while returning from a trip I was heading to my home base, which is
a class D airport. I was handed off to the local tracon, which has a class C airport, and was issued a clearance to follow a star that led to a navaid near my destination. However, the star was for the class C airport, not my destination. The class D airport is well outside of the class C airspace but inside the area covered by the tracon. I happened to know the star was for the class C airport, and followed it appropriately. However, in the Jepps it is listed under the class C, and not my destination. I have never encountered this before even in a busy radar environment- is this a common controller technique for arrivals? If I had been unfamiliar with the area and approaches, this could have caused a few moments of frantic chart flipping. Besides, the star did not list my destination airport as one of the transitions, although a nearby navaid is the IAP for several approaches. Since my last clearance was the star into the class c airport, if I had gone nordo, would I have been expected to fly to the class C airport listed in the star and do an approach , or should I do an approach to my destination, even if not listed in the star? |
