Jet or Turboprop STARS

Post by BarryCYEG »

Hey Everyone!

I have a question regarding Westjet Encore Q400's. I have observed on Flightaware that WEN Q400's show Jet aircraft STARS into Calgary (IGVEP5). Is this accurate, or are they acctually flying a Turboprop STAR (VESGA5).

Thanks!

Barry

They have been flying the jet stars a couple years or so now as I recall.

Q400s fly jet stars and usually have turbo prop departure speed restrictions waived.

Encore flies the Jet Aircraft STARs at some airport (like YYC) but not all airports.

Still on the turboprop arrivals in YYZ, BOS..
