Standard Terminal Arrival Route, also known as Standard Terminal Arrival or simply STAR, is a published procedure followed by aircraft on an IFR flight plan just before reaching a destination airport. A typical STAR consists of a set of starting points, called transitions, and a description of routes (typically via waypoints) from each of these transitions to a point near a destination airport, upon reaching which the aircraft can join an instrument approach or be vectored for a final approach by terminal air traffic control. It should be noted that not all airports have published STARs; however, most relatively large or not easily accessible (for example, in the mountainous area) airports do. Sometimes several airports in the same area share a single STAR; in such case, aircraft destined for any of the airports in such group follow the same arrival route up until reaching the final waypoint, after which they join approaches for their respective destination airports.
