V-03: Advanced VFR
Recommended aircraft:
slow piston (Cessna Skyhawk, Piper Warrior)
,
fast piston (Beech Baron, Piper Seneca)
Advanced Enroute - This advanced rating
involves transitions of complex airspace, and knowledge of published VFR routes
around LAX.
 |
The pilot will depart KSNA, and fly at least two of the published LAX Bravo transitions, choosing between: - the 'Shoreline Route'
- the 'Mini Route'
- Special Flight Rules Area (SFRA)
and ultimately land at KLAX. The supplied transcript gives an example of the Shoreline and Mini-Route. Pilots flying the SFRA should be mindful of the fact that it is flown without communicating with ATC, instead relying on position announcements on the advisory frequency (122.80 for VATSIM, although the real world SFRA has a dedicated frequency.) Printing the published transitions (available in the ZLA - Reference section), or having them open in another window is highly recommended.
Depending on sequencing requirements at LAX, the pilot may be required to circle north or south of the field for spacing or wake turbulence separation.

V-03 rating...I knew this would be the most challenging of the V ratings, so, I was really nervous when I found Dominic online. And, as usual, Dominic had his hands completely full. Regardless, Dominic accepted my request for the rating attempt. I dunno where Dominic gets his patience, but he was outstanding. Not only was Dominic dealing with me, it seemed that more than a few of the other pilots required more assistance from ATC than usual! Regardless, Dominic came through and granted me the V-03 rating!
Thank you Dominic....

oops nevermind, thats a *left* downwind for 25R not a right. Sorry, got confused.

In the transcript once we're done and given the go to enter left downwind for 25R at LAX, what's the best way to do that? Since you're already low by now you don't wanna exactly pass near the ends of the runways so would you like make a u-turn and bisect over the airport then turn left to enter the downwind?
