I-5 question

Post by msmith3972 »

The rating calls for specific routes for the type of aircraft:

VNY3.DAG.CRESO4 for pistons and turboprop
VNY3.DAG.KEPEC6 for RNAV jet
VNY3.DAG.CLARR3 for non-RNAV jet

I was going to fly the included cirus vision in xplane for this rating and while I can follow how I get to/from DAGGET on the piston arrival, there is no mention of the DAGGET transition on the KEPEC6 STAR. Not sure how I get from DAG to one of the published transitions? I was assuming that IFR flight planning would have a route that all connects together without any ambiguity.

The rating description is old. There is no longer a DAG transition on the KEPEC arrival. Changed months ago. Correct routing now is DAG MISEN.KEPEC6

Ok, great. But shouldn't we use the CLARR3 arrival then? https://skyvector.com/files/tpp/1803/pdf/00662CLARR.PDF

Seems to make sense, as DAGGET is on both charts...

If you're non RNAV equipped, by all means file the CLARR. If you're RNAV equipped file VNY3.DAG MISEN.KEPEC6 for sure.

Thanks, Shawn. I am doing my instrument training IRL, so I like the practice of using the VORs. :) Doing it in the 172 takes like 2 hrs tho!

Indeed it does. I've seen many people fly it in a C172 though. Makes for a long flight. Feel free to fly it using VOR's only though on the CLARR arrival.

You'll be on the CRESO arrival if you're using a 172. I'll update the rating with the jet routing changes since DAG is no longer a transition on the KEPEC.

Wouldn't happen to know why you can't use the CRESO4 arrival? It has turbojet flight planning altitudes on it.
