I'm curious how to do proper flight planning during the Arrival Segment of an IFR cross country. When looking at printed charts, how to I know the distance (and subsequet time enroute to plan) for the flight time between my final enroute fix and the initial approach fix (as listed on the approach plate)? Every enroute chart I've seen does not usually have the initial approach fixs listed (or any fix on the approach to the airport). Additionally, the airport I'm going to does not have any published STARs - it is obviously a smaller uncontrolled airport but even the larger airports I looked at don't include distances directly to the airport.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
