Pre-Flight
I'll be flying VFR from Santa Monica KSMO to Carlsbad KCRQ in a C-172. Once I get past the Queen Mary, I plan to fly south-east just off the coast.
Although I have some questions:
- Santa Ana airspace (KSNA) - to remain clear of class C, do you usually go under 1500ft or do you go above 5400ft?
- Camp Pendleton Restricted Area - I see this goes out approx 1NM off the coast. Do you usually go around the R-2503 restricted area? Is there a frequency to check the status of this area?
Many thanks...
