SIDs and STARs -- who approves these, who names these

[gromgutten]

I don't have the plates in front of me, but aren't there some fixes on approach to MCI named, SPICY, BARBQ, RIBBS? (sp?)

Anyway, FAF at Aberdeen, SD is called DASCL (SP?) (Tom Dachle)

I like Pikin and Grnin into Nashville!

How about fixes "BILLY" and "HILRY" (sp?) on V69 out by Little Rock, AR?!

I like the "RIICE ONE ARRIVAL" into KIAH,

MLRRR (miller)
LYYTE (lite)
ADVLL (advil)

In Arizona most are named after a location on the ground that it over flys. Ie. Arlin Arrival fliys over the little town of Arlin. Who knew???? Some are named after other things like sport teams, ie. SUNNS and DBACK Arrivals and some are named for personal reasons. I can’t think of an example with the STARS or SIDS but intersections like ALLEY and AMBER on the ARLIN arrival are named after two daughters of the Airspace and Procedures Specialist that designed the arrival. AVERY intersection on the IWA ILS is named after an old IWA tower manager. (I can’t remember his first name) Numerous other examples. Oh, and I thought of an example of “personal” for the arrivals. The MADWN STAR into OAK is named after a Steve Madwin who was a controller at Oakland Center (ZOA).

MDT is not for Middleton AFB. It is for the town of Middletown there. The AFB was Olmstead AFB.

I thought it stood for M (melt) D (down) T (town) because of 3 mile island.

There is also the Qball into st. louis with fatts and some other pool stuff due to some sort of pool tournament.
