PLT VOICED CONCERN REGARDING ATC ASSIGNED STAR PROCS THAT DO NOT TERMINATE AT RNH; REQUIRING FIX INPUTS FOR FMS.

Narrative

THIS REPORT REFERS TO AN ON-GOING SITUATION WITH STARS IN THE MINNEAPOLIS-ST PAUL AREA. SINCE THE OPENING OF RUNWAY 17-35 AT MINNEAPOLIS/ST PAUL; A SERIES OF NEW SIDS AND STARS WERE ADDED FOR AIRPORTS IN THE AREA. RNH HAS ONE PUBLISHED STAR; THE AGUDE1; BUT WE ARE OFTEN ASSIGNED OTHER STARS. THE PROBLEM ARISES IN THE FACT THAT AIRCRAFT ARRIVING AT RNH FROM THE SOUTH THROUGH THE NORTHWEST ARE ROUTINELY ASSIGNED THE ENCEE ONE AND TWOLF ONE; EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT LISTED AS STARS FOR RNH. A LOCALLY BASED BUSINESS JET FLIES FROM SLC TO RNH ON A REGULAR BASIS. THE FLIGHT CREW IS OFTEN ASSIGNED THE ENCEE ONE ARRIVAL. THE FLIGHT CREW MUST ENTER EITHER MSP OR ST PAUL AS THE NEW DESTINATION SINCE THAT STAR IS NOT LISTED IN THE FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (FMS) DATABASE FOR RNH. SOME OUT-OF-TOWN PILOTS FLYING TO RNH HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE HIGH WORKLOAD AND THE SCRAMBLE FACTOR INVOLVED IN TRYING TO FIND AND CROSS TRGET INTERSECTION AT 8000 FEET ON THE TWOLF ONE ARRIVAL TO A MINNESOTA AIRPORT; NOT THE AIRPORT HE/SHE MAY BE FLYING TO; ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED. PLEASE ADD RNH TO THE ABOVE LISTED STARS. THE REQUIRED WAYPOINTS WILL THEN BE AVAILABLE IN GPS AND FMS DATABASES UNDER RNH FOR PILOTS TO USE; THUS MAKING THE ARRIVALS SAFER AND EASIER.
