Descend Via
Thoughts appreciated.
A PANC STAR chart depicts a bottom altitude (on the chart) of 2000 which is technically the IF for an ILS.
My understanding with a DESCEND VIA clearance is that I can descend to bottom altitude published on the STAR.
The ILS chart only specifies an IF and no IAF (rather common).
Am I right in saying I could descend to 2000 (IF) under a DESCEND VIA clearance simply because it’s the bottom altitude published on the STAR chart. Sounds strange…
Thanks in advance
