Ok, so the I-5 is beating me in to submission.
I failed again tonight, this time thanks to a single little sentence tucked in to the CLARR02 arrival after the 29 palms transition instructions.
Did I mention I would really enjoy meeting the author of said document?
I'm doing this flight again tonight, as I -will- pass this test.. No really..

Brett,
That's why there's a graphical portion, to help you visualize the procedure. Run your finger along the track of the STAR, this is what I see without reading any of the text at the bottom:
TNP JOTNU GFS CLARR SKEBR ISSAR IPUMY BLD
What do you see?

Yeah, I was only reading the text. Oops
Anyway! I just passed it, so, woo hoo!
On to the I-6 now... Hope it doesn't kill me.

Brett, I'm glad you passed, but you might want to consider doing a few more SIDs and STARs to really cement this stuff. LAS-SAN, that one is a hoot (MCCRN SID, TNP, BARET STAR)
The rating introduces a skill, but it never a bad idea to practice after the rating to really master it. There are vectored sids, pilot nav sids and RNAV SIDS, we'll be covering them on Tuesday

Keith,
Yeah, don't get me wrong, I totally plan own practicing it a bunch more, just probably not in a business jet.
