1. Optimized Profile Descent Procedure Implementation
NorCal Metroplex
RNAV
Optimized Profile Descent
Procedure Implementation
KSFO, KOAK, KSJC, KSMF
April 30, 2015

2. On April 30, 2015, the NorCal Metroplex will implement 5 optimized RNAV STARs:
EMZOH1 Arrival into KOAK (new)
OAKES1 Arrival into KOAK (new)
RAZRR1 Arrival into KSJC (new)
SUUTR1 Arrival into KSMF (new)
YOSEM3 Arrival into KSFO (amended)
The following pages will introduce these procedures, talk about what to expect from ATC and what ATC expects from flight crews

3. EMZOH1 Arrival into KOAK Replaces the Panoche 3 and Commo 1 STARs

4. EMZOH1 Arrival into KOAK Replaces the Panoche 3 and Commo 1 STARs
Below is what you will hear from Oakland Center and what it means to you:
<Callsign> Descend Via the EMZOH One Arrival, Rwy 30 Transition, Oakland altimeter XXXX
Pilots are expected to fly the Rwy 30 transition (via MYRIB for Runways 30 & 28 L/R) as published and descend via the arrival, complying with altitudes and speeds. General aviation aircraft can expect Runway 28 assignment from NorCal Approach
Or for Runway 12:
<Callsign> Descend via the EMZOH One Arrival, Rwy 12 Transition, Oakland altimeter XXXX
Pilots are expected to fly the Rwy 12 transition (via EMAAA for Runway 12) as published and descend via the arrival, complying with altitudes and speeds.
** As a reminder, ATC needs to hear the readback of the “Descend Via” clearance and altimeter.
** Compliance with the published speeds on a STAR is mandatory and cancels previously assigned speeds unless explicitly assigned via an “except maintain xxx knots” clearance.

5. OAKES1 Arrival into KOAK Replaces the Madwin 5 and Manteca 2 STARs

6. OAKES 1 Arrival into KOAK Replaces the Madwin 5 and Manteca 2 STARs
Below is what you will hear from Oakland Center and what it means to you:
 <Callsign> Descend Via the OAKES One Arrival, Rwy 30 Transition, Oakland altimeter XXXX
Pilots are expected to fly the Rwy 30 transition (via TOOOL for Runways 30 & 28 L/R) as published and descend via the arrival, complying with altitudes and speeds. General aviation aircraft can expect Runway 28 assignment from NorCal Approach
Or for Runway 12
<Callsign> Descend via the OAKES One Arrival, Rwy 12 Transition, Oakland altimeter XXXX
Pilots are expected to fly the Rwy 12 transition (via SULRR for Runway 12) as published and descend via the arrival, complying with altitudes and speeds.
** As a reminder, ATC needs to hear the readback of the “Descend Via” clearance and altimeter.
** Compliance with the published speeds on a STAR is mandatory and cancels previously assigned speeds unless explicitly assigned via an “except maintain xxx knots” clearance.

7. RAZRR1 Arrival into KSJC Replaces El Nido 5 and JAWWS 3 STARs

8. RAZRR 1 Arrival into KSJC Replaces El Nido 5 and JAWWS 3 STARs
Below is what you will hear from Oakland Center and what it means to you:
<Callsign> Descend Via the RAZRR One Arrival, Rwy 30 Transition, San Jose altimeter XXXX
Pilots are expected to fly the Rwy 30 transition (via SCOPR for Runways 30) as published and descend via the arrival, complying with altitudes and speeds.
Or for Runway 12:
<Callsign> Descend via the RAZRR One Arrival, Rwy 12 Transition, San Jose altimeter XXXX
Pilots are expected to fly the Rwy 12 transition (via GOTEE for Runway 12) as published and descend via the arrival, complying with altitudes and speeds
** As a reminder, ATC needs to hear the readback of the “Descend Via” clearance and altimeter.
** Compliance with the published speeds on a STAR is mandatory and cancels previously assigned speeds unless explicitly assigned via an “except maintain xxx knots” clearance.

9. SUUTR1 Arrival into KSMF Replaces the WRAPS 5 STAR

10. SUUTR1 Arrival into KSMF Replaces the WRAPS 5 STAR
Below is what you will hear from Oakland Center and what it means to you: <Callsign> Descend Via the SUUTR One Arrival, Sacramento altimeter XXXX Pilots are expected to fly the SUUTR 1 arrival as published and descend via the arrival, complying with altitudes and speeds. Crews can expect runway assignment from NorCal Approach ** As a reminder, ATC needs to hear the readback of the “Descend Via” clearance and altimeter. ** Compliance with the published speeds on a STAR is mandatory and cancels previously assigned speeds unless explicitly assigned via an “except maintain xxx knots” clearance.

11. YOSEM 3 Arrival into KSFO ATC assigned only/Replaces the YOSEM2

12. YOSEM3 Arrival into KSFO
Below is what you will hear from Oakland Center and what it means to you: <Callsign> Descend Via the YOSEM Three Arrival, San Francisco altimeter XXXX Pilots are expected to fly the YOSEM 3 Arrival as published and descend via the arrival, complying with altitudes and speeds. Crews can expect runway assignment from NorCal Approach ** As a reminder, ATC needs to hear the readback of the “Descend Via” clearance and altimeter. ** Compliance with the published speeds on a STAR is mandatory and cancels previously assigned speeds unless explicitly assigned via an “except maintain xxx knots” clearance.
