On the Nueces Arrival, what altitude should you fly at and which tower directs you?

• A. 500' MSL, directed by Ingleside Tower
• B. 1,000' MSL, directed by Cabaniss Tower
• C. 1,500' MSL, directed by Corpus Tower
• D. 2,000' MSL, directed by PT SUNRISE Tower

Answer: (B)

The Nueces Arrival is designed to bring you into the NAS Corpus Christi complex with a standard step-down altitude and a specific control facility handling the approach flow. You should fly at 1,000 feet MSL on this arrival, and you’ll be directed by Cabaniss Tower. This setup keeps military traffic well-coordinated in the Corpus area and provides clear separation as you transition toward the field. Ingleside Tower serves traffic for Ingleside, not this arrival; Corpus Tower handles traffic into Corpus Christi International, not the NAS complex. PT SUNRISE Tower isn’t the controlling facility for this arrival.
