No, I dont think I am confused.
It says in big letters, "VFR Corridor Procedures - San Diego Class B Airspace" So what do you think - Do you think it may be the VFR corridor? Craig Prouse wrote: wrote: 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) Stan 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). |

This is actually the real deal, I was surprised san diego had one.
I dont usually pull out my books but had to on this one because I was curious, I dont usually fly through class B airspace, I fly over it. Only when I have to land at an airport inside class B will I mess with it and then I dont look for transition routes or anything. Los Angeles area (LAX) has a Special flight rules route for VFR traffic, its not listed as a "VFR corridor" but as SFRA and reads the same as a vfr corridor, no contact with approach needed, goes right over the top of LAX. the Jeppguide gives you the squak code and such for the route. Craig Prouse wrote: "Peter R." wrote: The San Diego VFR corridor is labeled as such on the San Diego TAC. Additionally, San Diego Approach refers to it as a VFR corridor, at least when I was flying to it last March, and no clearance is/was required into it. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck... Sometimes I'm wrong, and when I do it, I do it right. |

LAX's is called a "Special Flight Rules Area", not a VFR corridor, some parts of the SFRA require
ATC comminucation, the one over the top of LAX does not. This is per my current JeppGuide. San Diego specifically says VFR corridor. wrote: But I don't think these are true "vfr corridors". The aim 3.5.5.b describes corridors as "a hole through class b airspace", and shows such in figure 3-5-2 (at least in my 2001 aim). LAX is just this way. From what I see of dca area from March 2002 jepp chart, these two corridors are "under" class b, not "through". Same for Houston, which I have Jul 1999 Jepp info. It appears LAX has the only true vfr corridor, unless someone has other examples Stan On Wed, 22 Oct 2003 12:29:38 -0400, "Ron Natalie" wrote: wrote in message ... Do I read the aim right that the special flight rules airspace over top of LAX is actually still classified as a VFR corridor? And secondly, are there any other vfr corridors in the US? Not that are Special Flight Rules. A lot of class B's that are formed from overlaps of multiple primary airports have area that is just excluded (without restriction) from the class B. An example is NY where there is a tunnel down the Hudson (the chart does have some notations about traffic advisories) and DC which has two tunnels (one between IAD and DCA, which unfortunately is now eaten up by the stupid-assed no-fly zone and one between DCA and BWI which is only partially eaten, but inside the ADIZ). Several others have sort of notches cut out of their edges for non-Class B transition. |

No, I don't think Jeff is confused. He was one of the few who knew
exaclty what a vfr corridor was. At any rate, San Diego and LAX class B's seem to be the only ones with a vfr corridor, although it was argued that since the corridor in LAX is a special flight rules area, it may not count as a true vfr corridor. This should put the thread to rest Stan Craig Prouse wrote: I don't think so.

Denver VFR corridor on the west; Northbound recommended slightly west I-25
at 7500', Southbound about 5 miles west (roughly BJC 350/170 radials) at 8500'. wrote in message ... No, I don't think Jeff is confused.
