vfr corridors through class B airspace

Jeff, vfr transition routes are different than vfr corridors through
class B airspace. No permission required, but in LAX there are
procedures that must be followed, eg speed, transponder code etc. I
presume that's why its designated special flight rules airspace. It's
in the aim.

Looks like your correct, I just looked up the san diego class B and it shows
the vfr corridor. I am surprised a busy area like san diego allows it.

I don't have the san diego info, but is this really a vfr corridor, or
just airpace below class B? A vfr corridor goes "throught" class B,
as in a hole, see aim 3-5-5-b, and figure 3-5-2 (at least in my 2001
aim)

It's a VFR corridor. Starts at 3,300 and tops out at 4,700 feet,
essentially a hole right through San Diego's class B airspace, north to
south and vise-versa.

I don't think so. I think Jeff is pretty confused about the distinctions
between VFR corridors (special ways through Class B without a clearance),
VFR flyways (preferred ways under and around Class B, published for many
Class B areas), and VFR transition routes (preferred ways through Class B
with a clearance).

Yup, it really is a VFR corridor I am looking at it right now in the Jeppesen
JeppGuide.
They have a nice picture of it and everything.

A low-altitude N-S corrider midway between Dulles and DCA.

Not necessary to talk to anyone, but I ask for traffic advisories.

This has been closed since 9/11.

You better keep an eye out for F-16's.

Yeah, Ron, I'd heard that but forgot to mention it. Getting more
senile every day.

Kind of academic now, with the SFR zone and the DC ADIZ.
