Read the entire plate!

Post by Ryan B »

I was a little sleepy last night flying SNA to BFL via LHS FASTO1.

I didn't read the plate in its entirety... and after LHS I was going to fly the LHS329R to JAPAR, then join the localizer.... I started doing that when I noticed the bold line on the LHS305R.... derp derp. Then I read the rest of the STAR... it was crystal clear in text what to do after LHS (fly the LHS305R to the GMN344R to FASTO). Thankfully the controller didn't notice (or didn't say anything right away muwhahaha!) :mrgreen:

But moral of the story: Read the graphics and the text for the STAR/SID/approach plate!

I don't think the controllers see the FASTO too often ;)
