Question: Which of the following describes the purpose of a 'STAR' (Standard Instrument Arrival)?
Answer options:
- To provide obstacle clearance on departure from an airport. ✅ To facilitate an orderly and efficient transition from the enroute structure to an approach fix or an initial approach segment.
