STAR altitude restrictions???
Hey guys,
I'm looking for guidance, FAR references, CRAR, etc. on the following scenario:
IGONO 1W arrival into ZGGG. Basically it's a straight shot from an IAF to a point on downwind arriving from the northeast. Left turn to base and then pick up the ILS 02L from there.
ATC clears us to 900 meters while we are abeam the field heading southwest. The STAR has one altitude restriction (at or above 2100M) at a point about 18 DME out at the right turn to base point. It's not going to be an issue (i.e. we'll be above it at our current descent rate) but my left seater wants to delete the restriction in the box just the same.
I'm looking for a reference, opinion, etc. on what should be done in this situation absent specific direction from ATC. Do we still honor the 2100M altitude restriction even though we've been given clearance to 900M or what?
I know what we do in the states on the CIVET or into ANC on the NEELL 1 when they say "descend via the ....arrival". They didn't do that here. We were still on that IGONO 1W arrival and cleared to 900M prior to the point with the 2100M restriction.
Thanks.
