Course rules: Tower Transition
Arriving from the south, southeast, or via RWY 29:
1. Fly to sidestep or cross RWY 29 at short field arresting gear
2. Continue to fly parallel to the runway and overfly Taxiway Bravo 1.
3. Maintain 150’/50 KIAS. Do not overfly any aircraft on the ground.
4. When abeam the Control Tower, turn north to intercept Taxiway Mike, remain east of RWY 18 and, if applicable, cross RWY 18 at short field arresting gear for Pad 10.
Course Rules: Flying Club Transition
- Flown at or below 300’ AGL
- Departures take the white ball down the left side of the aircraft and overfly the road to the channel.
- At the channel, climb to 400’ and proceed outbound.
Course Rules: Strand Transition
- Transiting west —> cross at 200’ AGL
- Transiting east —> cross at 400’ AGL
Course Rules: Bay Departure/Arrival
Departure:

- Fly south-eastbound over the Bay, remaining overwater
- Cross the Coronado Bridge at 600’ AGL
- Eastbound - initiate via Point Charlie
- Southbound - continue south and report Point X-RAY to NOLFIB Tower with intentions. Cross Point X-RAY and remain 1/2 mile from the Coronado Cays. All aircraft transiting to NOLFIB or to the west should expect to utilize COMSTA Transition.
- NOTE: Formation flights shall remain in trail until clear of the Coronado Bridge to the south.
Arrival:
- Request Bay Arrival from KNZY tower at Point X-Ray or Point Charlie.
- Remain 1/2 mile from the Coronado Cays.
- Proceed northbound at 500’ AGL and keep to the east side of the Bay.
- Cross the Coronado Bridge slightly right of the highest point at 500’ AGL and fly northwest over the Bay.
- Maintain 500’ AGL abeam USS MIDWAY before descending to the landing environment.
Course Rules: Channel Departure
- Fly southbound over the channel, maintain 400’ AGL
- When clear of Point Loma, westbound traffic is authorized to turn west at pilot’s discretion. All other traffic continue southbound to Point Bravo.
