I HIGHLY recommend that you look at the charts when youre doing your flightplanning, they will often clarify things that are not 100% clear when youre looking at the CDU. You can get charts for free for most (all) airports on the internet really easily, normally googling 'charts <airport>' is enough. You can also get all the AD charts for us airports at http://www.airnav.com/airports/, and at http://www.ead.eurocontrol.int/eadcms/eadsite/index.php%3Foption=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=25&Itemid=3.html for almost every european airport. Both sites lets you get the charts for free, however, the eurocontrol sites require you to register before they let you into the charts section.

Let me walk you through the STAR and the approach, the way I interpret it.

The WOOD4a STAR contains the following instructions :
from WOODY track NIK at the 206 degree inbound radial until youre 8DME from the VOR, then turn left to intercept the 130 degree inbound radial to the ANT VOR. (There's actually a small inaccuracy between the navdata from navigraph and the chart. The chart says turn left to intercept the 119 degree outbound radial to ANT, not 130 degree. This is not a captain sim problem, but rather a problem with the accuracy of the data you have purchased from Navigraph)

Alright, that was the STAR, now lets have a look at the approach plate for ILS25R, ANT transition

From ANT track the 107 degree outbound radial to the BUN VOR, after BUN turn right HDG 171, fly that for 3 NM, then turn right HDG 216 to intercept (INTC) the ILS 25R on the inbound radial of 246.

After that we got a couple of waypoints defining the height you should be at for various interception points for the ILS, lets go to the missed approach part of the approach plate. It starts with

after RW25R climb heading 246, when passing 700 feet turn right hdg 020, continue climb to 3000 feet. At around 2000 feet intercept (INTC) the 071 inbound radial to the BUN VOR. After you reach BUN proceed to HOLD AT the BUN VOR on the 117 degree inbound radial, standard right hand turns with 1 minute legs.


Thats the STAR, approach and missed approach procedure for ILS25R, ANT transition for EBBR as far as I can tell. Its all logical and the only waypoint you need to delete is one of the double ANT waypoints that you get as a result of ANT being a part of the STAR WOOD4a and the ILS25R, ANT transition. The 3x BUN waypoints are there because they are to be used for various parts of the approach, once for the approach itself, once for the missed approach route and finally once for the HOLD AT procedure. The (INTC) parts on the CDU are not actual waypoints, instead they indicate that you are supposed to intercept a radial at a point where there's no particular fix.


This is my interpretation of the approach, if anyone knows more about this particular approach or about approaches in general then please let me know so I dont go around spreading misinformation.
