Preparation for the arrival and approach begins long Optimum IFR arrival options include flying directly before the descent from the en route phase of flight. from the en route structure to an approach gate or initial Planning early, while there are fewer demands on your approach fix (IAF), a visual arrival, STARs, and radar attention, leaves you free to concentrate on precise vectors. Within controlled airspace, ATC routinely uses control of the aircraft and better equipped to deal with radar vectors for separation purposes, noise abatement problems that might arise during the last segment of considerations, when it is an operational advantage, or the flight. when requested by pilots. Vectors outside of con- trolled airspace are provided only on pilot request. The controller tells you the purpose of the vector when the TRANSITION FROM EN ROUTE vector is controller-initiated and takes the aircraft off a This chapter focuses on the current procedures previously assigned nonradar route.
