Hi ottoramsaig.

You follow the ATC. Once ATC starts vectoring you on the approach, you do as they say. They do not follow any specific approaches that I can tell, so I don't put any in the plan.

I have the first waypoint from my departure airport at about 40 miles out. My final waypoint, is usually about 100-120 miles earlier. That way I follow my plan, and ATC will guide to my first waypoint track, and start vectoring after my last waypoint. That way there are no conflicts between plan and the ATC.

I would love to know what Lou does.

Hope this helps.

Mark
