Narrative:

Have you seen the slc jammn 1 arrival? I suggest that you take a look at it and visualize flying it using either the milford or bryce canyon transitions. From my point of view, the arrival is difficult enough to talk through, much more difficult to fly. It contains 5 separate crossing restrs in the space of 48 mi. When we flew the arrival, we spent way too much time inside the cockpit reading and interpreting the arrival. Whoever designed the arrival seemingly paid little attention to the pilot's task of aviating, navigating and communicating. I agree that slc needed the arrival, but I hope that it can be revisited and revised with an eye towards simplification before misunderstandings, violations, etc occur. A quick glance at the other new slc arrs show me that the jammn isn't the only complicated arrival there.

Title: PUB DEFICIENCY -- THIS ACR FO DESCRIBES THE JAMMN 1 STAR INTO SLC AS BEING OVERLY COMPLICATED.

Narrative: HAVE YOU SEEN THE SLC JAMMN 1 ARR? I SUGGEST THAT YOU TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND VISUALIZE FLYING IT USING EITHER THE MILFORD OR BRYCE CANYON TRANSITIONS. FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, THE ARR IS DIFFICULT ENOUGH TO TALK THROUGH, MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO FLY. IT CONTAINS 5 SEPARATE XING RESTRS IN THE SPACE OF 48 MI. WHEN WE FLEW THE ARR, WE SPENT WAY TOO MUCH TIME INSIDE THE COCKPIT READING AND INTERPRETING THE ARR. WHOEVER DESIGNED THE ARR SEEMINGLY PAID LITTLE ATTN TO THE PLT'S TASK OF AVIATING, NAVING AND COMMUNICATING. I AGREE THAT SLC NEEDED THE ARR, BUT I HOPE THAT IT CAN BE REVISITED AND REVISED WITH AN EYE TOWARDS SIMPLIFICATION BEFORE MISUNDERSTANDINGS, VIOLATIONS, ETC OCCUR. A QUICK GLANCE AT THE OTHER NEW SLC ARRS SHOW ME THAT THE JAMMN ISN'T THE ONLY COMPLICATED ARR THERE.
