We have SoCal freq�s, jet a/c routes, landmarks, waypoints, etc. Also we have a corner of the chart with special routes across the LAX �B� and the air-to-air trng area freq�s. Turn the TAC over and we have more info. Conflicts are easy. The jets don�t think of a see-and-be-seen VFR operation. They are mostly IFR and on a mandatory route. TCAS helps protect the aircraft, but it also creates problems by reaching out and alerting about an a/c that may not be a problem. TCAS can�t determine other than �if everyone goes as they are, a collision can result�TAC charts show greater detail then sectionals.

5. FAA AIRSPACE CLASSIFICATIONS Note that G airspace, which is what Compton Airport has, won�t get you into legal flight (1000� above and 2000� lateral from an obstruction). The pilot , once out of class G, is responsible for meeting �E� visibility. What about SVFR? Can�t in�G�. It requires ATC clearance.Note that G airspace, which is what Compton Airport has, won�t get you into legal flight (1000� above and 2000� lateral from an obstruction).

It covers the coastline route from 2000� - 1100�. Who is familiar. Sectional says it is by notam. Let�s talk about a MOA. Normally an IFR flight will not be cleared thru. VFR, however, has the option and everyone is probably aware of the conflict created when an F16 from the AFB at PHX approached a corporate a/c in a MOA. Restricted Area R2503D is at Camp Pendleton.
