Get used to it!

Background: Due to WIP all over the airfield, (new runway, new taxiways, etc), the ILS will not be available during daylight hours - except during the workmen's lunch break. You might be lucky to get the ILS between 1pm and 3pm LT.

So expect the RNAV during the day. The ATIS used to mention that the ILS is not available. If it doesn't, you have every right to complain to the SHJ controllers. If it persists, raise an ASR.

ELELA 2X is such a twisted long-winded STAR, nobody who flies here regularly really wants to do it. Expect to be at 10000ft at ELELA, and then descend ASAP to get your direct ULERA.

But remember, you're not forced to accept the direct. Just request more track miles, or say UNABLE and follow the entire STAR.
