RNAV Standard Terminal Arrival Route (STAR)

An RNAV Standard Terminal Arrival Route (STAR) is a predetermined flight path used by aircraft to navigate safely and efficiently from the en-route phase of flight to an airport. Utilizing advanced navigation technology, these routes help pilots follow specificwaypoints and altitudes, optimizing air traffic flow and reducing congestion. By standardizing approaches, STARs facilitate smoother landings and improve safety in busy airspace. They are an essential part of modern aviation, allowing for more organized and predictable arrivals, making the process beneficial for both airlines and passengers alike.
