Hi, Everybody,

Most probably a stupid question to most of you but could somebody help me to clarify a note found on US Jepp STAR plates? I quote: „TURBOJETS LANDING NORTH Cross…”

Does it mean that the approaches are from a northerly quadrant or the approaches are executed into a northerly direction?
Or from another angle, applying the note above what is the landing runway 36 or 18 ?

Many thanks,
b
Here is an FAA STAR chart for an RNAV STAR at KSLC. In the U.S. the FAA charting division, Jeppesen, and LIDO all take their terminal instrument procedures data from the same source document. The wording is done to attempt to keep cluttered charts from being even more cluttered.

Without you providing the specific chart you are commenting a bit out of context. Following is the FAA chart for an RNAV STAR at SLC. It seems that the context of the chart makes it all quite clear: (Do you have an example where the context does not resolve any slight ambiguity?)
