[QUOTE="FLYIN, post: 10823768, member: 21018"] That is actually the Oceanside Vortac (100X TACAN, 115.3 VOR) you are talking about. Camp Pen has a TACAN (55X) that is about 2.7 NM from the approach of runway 21. Course rules towards the coast we head just south of the VORTAC at 800' AGL and then proceed 1 nautical mile off shore if transiting North. Traffic inbound Pendleton do so at 1000' AGL direct to the LCAC facility. The VORTAC and LCAC are the checkpoints where we switch to or from Camp Pendleton Tower whether inbound or outbound respectively. There are multiple Confined Area Landing Sites along that portion of the coast up to SONGs (the power plant that looks like a pair of titties) that we utilize for training. Couple of concrete pads as well, one that is painted up like a ship with landing spots to train guys how to land on the ship. Traffic pattern for CALs and Boat pattern is 300' AGL. Some guys may bump it up to 500' AGL. Also lot of guys doing Functional Check Flights East of the I-5. I usually will ask for 1500'AGL and 3500' AGL East of the 5 if doing FCF's out there. Typically it is very busy during the week there. Best to stay out of the way and do what longrifle says. Longrifle is actually range control, although they kind of act as an ATC around there as far as deconflicting VFR traffic. Wasn't until a few years ago they actually got a radar and could see where we were. Before they used procedural control. They do have radar now though. Longrifle as far as the ones on the radio are civillians aboard Camp Pendleton. We do have Camp Pendleton controllers for IFR seperate from Socal approach to handle IFR aircraft. And of course Camp Pendleton Tower. Although if you are talking to Camp Pendleton tower as a civillian you are probably in trouble by that point.:lol: Sweet video. I love flying up in that area, but rarely get the chance. Can't believe some of those houses. How is the performance in those R22's? Is that what you mostly fly now? Take me up and I'll show you some rocket profiles. Haha. Wish I could return the favor and take you up. Simulator is the best I could get you in, Cobra or Huey. [/QUOTE]
