Advising ATC of which STAR you're expecting
Hello,
Quick question on the first call to the destination radar service, i.e. when speaking to London on the way back into Gatwick, you advise which STAR you are expecting. Q1: Do STARS serve multiple airports? Q2: If so, are we supposed to tell them which airport we're going to?

I wasn't aware that we did report the STAR on any contact during an arrival. We report the SID on first contact on a departure.
As far as I know STAR's are airport specific, but someone will probably know somewhere different.

Some of the London airports are paired for STARs - Luton and Stansted both use LOREL and ABBOT arrivals, and City and Biggin both use the SPEAR and ALKIN arrivals I believe.

ATC seem to prefer it as it cuts down on the RT, particularly in London TMA.
