Yep. I was a controller at SoCal (Los Angeles Arrivals). We don't care about anything directly overhead the airport. Departure deals with that airspace more than we do, but from 2500 -- 4500 is pretty much dead space as far as we're concerned. The towers deal with the 2500 (mini) route. Other major airports have similar procedures, although the charted Special Flight Rules procedure at LAX is unique. At other airports, you may have to know the "secret" and know what to ask ATC for in order to get it.

I took all of my flight training out of Hawthorne Airport which was to the southeast of LAX. Runway was aligned with LAX runways and was displaced about 2 miles south of the centerline of the south runways. I used to fly over LAX almost every flight. After getting my license I kept my 182 at Hawthorne and got my IFR ticket. It was interesting to make IFR approaches flying next to commercial aircraft just off to my right. I did a lot of flying around the LA basin. Head on a swivel at all times. Lunch at Catalina was always a great trip. Keep it high on the approach because of the wind shear at the cliff.

Hearing the Morse Code at 5:25 (SMO) made me flash back to my check ride to get my Commercial Pilots license. The examiner asked me to tune to a VOR and track to it. I tuned to that VOR and turned toward it. Later, on the ground, the examiner said that I didn't identify the VOR and he had to reduce my grade because of it. I said "I did identify the NDB. I'm an amateur ration operator and I know Morse Code. I could read the three letters sent in Morse Code and I ID'd the VOR." I added "I should have mentioned it but I guess I was concentrating on flying the aircraft as you instructed." He smiled.

Great procedure, if ATC knows exactly what you are going to do it makes it very safe. The safest place to be around a major airport is directly overhead. The departures and arrival can’t conflict. But this changes as you expand away from the airport, then arrivals and departures are at the same altitude. That’s why they pin you down to exact radials.
@xheralt4 жыл бұрын
Well, give or take the possibility of a short final go-around at LAX (or whatever airport you're crossing), it's pretty safe. I assume Tower would come on freq and start vectoring the Special VFR traffic if the 7700 craft were unable to make better altitude (i.e. enter the VFR box) while going around.
