That's essentially the approach for the landing to the airport. I'd assume the AA flight was on its way in for landing.

It definitely strikes me as a place that wouldn't be a great idea to fly your plane past if you're not planning to be on comms with ATC.






No, that's essentially underneath the landing path to the airport. Aircraft operate in three dimensions, and the airspace is sized and configured in three dimensions to support all the navigation needs and users in the area.

Did you know that there is a "tunnel" of uncontrolled airspace directly about Los Angeles International, between 3500 feet and 4500 feet, and you can fly through with commercial airliners whizzing about, talking to absolutely no radar services or ATC controllers? Called the LAX SFRA.

Seems like maybe the airspace used for the approach should be class C?

How does one find a map?
