Introduction to flying in class B airspace, Part 1

[@jasonchipkin]

Be prepared with your LAX BRAVO transition route when you check in. Some Bravos can clear you through arbitrarily, but we need you on a charted route through LAX 👍🐾🛩️.

I like your presentations. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to the next one.

Glad you enjoyed it! I should have the next one out by then end of next week.

I tried to call Phoenix Approach by phone like you suggest but gave up trying to get a number someone would answer. Where’s a good place to find these phone numbers?

[@Loves2Fly]

I would start with Flight Service (FSS). Also find all the numbers starting on page 430 of the Chart Supplement (AF/D). Here is a link: aeronav.faa.gov/Upload_313-d/supplements/CS_SW_20210422.pdf If you file IFR from small airports, you actually now get your clearance directly from Center instead of through the FSS.

BTW great question!

[@TySteve539]

Is the engine running when contacting clearance delivery when leaving or do you hold off starting the engine yet ?

[@Loves2Fly]

Great question. I turn on the radio, listen to the ATIS, then start the engine and call clearance delivery. Clearance is usually quite quick.
