Pattern Altitude
I'm working through the ASA oral exam guide. On p. 5-4, in the section on Cross-Country Flight Planning, Part A re Navigation, there's a question about locating items on sectional charts. The question suggests that I should be able to separately identify the following on a chart:
Part-time lighting
Pilot Controlled Lighting
I would have thought the answer to both was "*L".
In my limited experience, I have only run across an "L" (full time lighting"), or a "*L" (lighting with restrictions, go see the AFD). I have not stumbled on a chart symbol that tells me for sure that the airport has PCL.
On p.53, though, the FAA's latest "Aeronautical Chart User's Guide" says that the following symbol is used to designate pilot-controlled lighting:

Unless I'm missing it somehow, none of the Los Angeles area airports have this symbol. Do any of you know of an airport that has this symbol on the chart?
