vfr corridors through class B airspace
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? Stan |

Not sure about LAX but here in Seattle Class B KSEA has one. Their are two runways at SEA (16R and 16L, var 20E) and the corridor runs east to west directly over the center of the runway. I've never actually used it thou |

Not exactly the same thing, Vejita...SEA has "transition routes," not
corridors. Bob Gardner "'Vejita' S. Cousin" wrote in message ...

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. |

They are VFR transition routes, you still need to contact LAX prior to
entering and so forth, I have the LA terminal chart that shows the route and gives the procedures for using it. But you just cant go fly the route, you need permission first. wrote: Do I read the aim right that the special flight rules airspace over top of LAX is actually still classified as a VFR corridor?

But you just cant go fly the route, you need permission first. Those are different routes altogether. The SFRA passes directly over LAX between Santa Monica and Long Beach. It does not require ATC approval or even ATC contact. You're right, however, that the LA TAC shows the route and gives the procedures for using it. In fact you have to have the TAC in your possession legally to fly the route. |

A low-altitude N-S corrider midway between Dulles and DCA. Not necessary to talk to anyone, but I ask for traffic advisories. vince norris |

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.
