¶ Tower Enroute Control (TEC) Routes
The FAA has created a set of routes used for aircraft flying between most Southern California Airports. These are called Tower Enroute Control (TEC) Routes. If a TEC route is available between two airports, aircraft are required to be routed via that TEC route for the given airport configuration, altitude, and aircraft type.
Appropriate TEC routes should always be filed unless in conflict with this document. Only clear the pilot using the name of the TEC route if a TEC route (not necessarily the same one) was filed/requested, otherwise expand the TEC route and issue it as a full-route clearance.
An example clearance for a J-CLASS aircraft using the named TEC route “LAXP11” (KLAX->KSAN ) would be:
Cleared to the San Diego airport, via the LOS ANGELES PAPA ONE ONE routing, maintain 5,000, expect 13,000 ft 5 minutes after departure …
The pilot would then fly the route: LAXX1 MZB
TEC routes are available at FAA NFDC Preferred Routes Database
Los Angeles International airport is surrounded by class B airspace. Aircraft entering class B airspace VFR require a clearance in accordance with 7110.65 Chapter 7, section 9.
All VFR aircraft departing Los Angeles Class B airspace shall be issued the appropriate clearance for direction of flight:
¶ P and Q class Aircraft
| Operations | Direction | Scratchpad | Clearance |
|---|---|---|---|
| West | North | BN | Cleared out of the Los Angeles Class Bravo to the North. On departure, fly heading 250 until turning right at the shoreline. Maintain VFR at or below 3000 feet until clear of Bravo airspace. Departure frequency xxx.xx, Squawk 1200. |
| West | South | BS | Cleared out of the Los Angeles Class Bravo to the South. On departure, fly heading 250 until turning left at the shoreline. Maintain VFR at or below 3000 feet until clear of Bravo airspace. Departure frequency xxx.xx, Squawk 1200. |
| East | North | BN | Cleared out of the Los Angeles Class Bravo to the North. On departure, fly runway heading then turn left over the end of the runway. Maintain VFR at or below 3000 feet until clear of Bravo airspace. Departure frequency xxx.xx, Squawk 1200. |
| East | South | BS | Cleared out of the Los Angeles Class Bravo to the South. On departure, fly runway heading then turn right over the end of the runway. Maintain VFR at or below 3000 feet until clear of Bravo airspace. Departure frequency xxx.xx, Squawk 1200. |
¶ J and M class Aircraft
| Operations | Direction | Scratchpad | Clearance |
|---|---|---|---|
| West | North | H250N | Cleared out of the Los Angeles Class Bravo to the North. On departure, fly heading 250 for vectors out of Los Angeles airspace. Maintain VFR at or below 3000 feet until clear of the Bravo. Departure frequency XXX, squawk XXXX. |
| West | South | H250S | Cleared out of the Los Angeles Class Bravo to the South. On departure, fly heading 250 for vectors out of Los Angeles airspace. Maintain VFR at or below 3000 feet until clear of the Bravo. Departure frequency XXX, squawk XXX. |
| East | North | H070N | Cleared out of the Los Angeles Class Bravo to the North. On departure, fly heading 070 for vectors out of Los Angeles airspace. Maintain VFR at or below 3000 feet until clear of the Bravo… Departure frequency XXX, squawk XXXX. |
| East | South | H070S | Cleared out of the Los Angeles Class Bravo to the South. On departure, fly heading 070 for vectors out of Los Angeles airspace. Maintain VFR at or below 3000 feet until clear of the Bravo. Departure frequency XXX, squawk XXXX. |
¶ Helicopters
When (per the current ATIS) the cloud ceiling is at least 3000ft AND the visibility is at least 5nmi, issue the appropriate clearance for direction of flight.
| Operations | Direction | Scratchpad | Clearance |
|---|---|---|---|
| West | North | BNH | Cleared out of the Los Angeles Class Bravo via the Sepulveda route Northbound. Maintain VFR at 2000 feet while in Bravo airspace. Departure frequency XXX, squawk 1200. |
| West | South | BSH | Cleared out of the Los Angeles Class Bravo via the Sepulveda route Southbound. Maintain VFR at 2000 feet while in Bravo airspace. Departure frequency XXX, squawk 1200. |
| East | North | BNH | Cleared out of the Los Angeles Class Bravo via the Lincoln route Northbound. Maintain VFR at 2000 feet while in Bravo airspace. Departure frequency XXX, squawk 1200. |
| East | South | BSH | Cleared out of the Los Angeles Class Bravo via the Lincoln route Southbound. Maintain VFR at 2000 feet while in Bravo airspace. Departure frequency XXX, squawk 1200. |
When (per the current ATIS) the weather is VFR but doesn’t meet the conditions above, all helicopters must depart under a preemptive SVFR clearance via the Lincoln route Southbound.
¶ VFR Traffic Pattern
If a ground or tower controller is online, coordinate with them before issuing a VFR pattern clearance to ascertain which runway is in use and any additional requirements they may have (such as squawk codes or position reporting requirements).
- The traffic pattern altitude (TPA) is 700ft for helicopters and 1200ft for all other aircraft.
| Runway | Direction |
|---|---|
| 24R | Right |
| 25L | Left |
- Runways 24L and 25R are not authorized for VFR closed traffic.
- Runway 24R is preferred (due to the proximity of KHHR airspace to the south) unless an operational or safety advantage can be gained by use of 25L.
- Aircraft should be instructed to squawk 1200 and maintain VFR at or below 1000ft (helicopters) or 1500ft (other aircraft) North or South of the assigned runway as appropriate (unless otherwise instructed by the ground, tower, approach, or center controller)
An example traffic pattern clearance for fixed-wing class-P aircraft on runway 24R may read:
Cleared to operate within the Los Angeles class Bravo airspace. Maintain VFR North of runway 24R at or below 1500ft. Pattern altitude 1200ft, right traffic. Squawk 1200.
¶ Special VFR
Special VFR operations are prohibited at Los Angeles International Airport.
¶ Non-engine aircraft
Non-engine aircraft (gliders, sailplanes, etc.) are prohibited at Los Angeles International Airport.
Control positions
| Position | Frequency | FRA |
|---|---|---|
| KLAX_GND | 121.750 MHz | |
¶ Jurisdiction Area
Ground control owns all movement areas (including closed runways) except the taxiways located between runway 25L/R and between 24L/R. Pushback from the West side of TBIT onto taxiway K or from the domestic gates onto D or C requires clearance from ground control, but taxiways C6, C7, C8, C9, C10, D7, D8, D9, and D10 may be pushed back onto at the pilot’s discretion after receiving IFR/VFR clearance from the appropriate controller so long as the pilot can be reasonably assured that they will not collide with any other aircraft, building, or ground personnel and monitors the frequency of the appropriate controller. If the position is split, KLAX_N_GND controls E, D, N, P, AA, and the taxiways adjoining E to runway 24L (E6, E7, V south of 24L, etc.).
¶ Restrictions
Aircraft with length greater than 240 feet are prohibited on Taxilanes C-7, C-8 and C-9 between Taxilane C and Twy B.
¶ Taxi Instructions
- The ground controller must make sure that an aircraft has received an IFR or VFR clearance and has reported receipt of current weather information before taxi instructions may be issued.
- Aircraft must operate their transponder in altitude reporting mode (mode S/C) whenever the transponder is enabled. This includes all movement areas, all non-movement areas, and all airspace at or below FL600 within thirty (30) nautical miles of the LAX VOR (the “Mode C Veil”, marked on the Los Angeles Sectional and Los Angeles Terminal Area Chart).
¶ Taxi Flows
West Operations
Over-Ocean Operations
East Operations
¶ Closed Traffic
If closed traffic/pattern work is requested, coordinate with the Tower controller (if online) before issuing taxi instructions. If no tower/approach controller is online, then after taxi and before takeoff issue the following:
Tower control services unavailable. Report pattern legs on advisory frequency 122.8. Takeoff at own risk. Good day.
Control positions
| Position | Frequency | FRA |
|---|---|---|
| KLAX_TWR | 120.950 MHz |  |
Airport
¶ Airspace and Jurisdiction
Local Control owns all active runways, the taxiways located between runway 25L/R, the taxiways located between 24L/R, and the airspace as depicted in the image below. The airspace ceiling is 2500ft MSL over the airport and 1000ft MSL along the shore and east of the field until DOWNE/MERCE. When local control is split, KLAX_N_TWR assumes control for runways 24L/R, all taxiways between runways 24L/R, and all aircraft departing from or landing into runways 24L/R. In addition, KLAX_N_TWR assumes responsibility for VFR traffic in the North pattern or transiting KLAX airspace via the Mini Route Southbound.
¶ Runway configuration
Select the most suitable runway configuration based on prevailing weather conditions. During wind conditions less than 10kt Tailwind, West operations shall be used.
- West operations (Tailwind up-to 10kts): Departures 24L 25R, Arrivals 24R 25L
Aircraft parked south of runway 25L with a wake turbulence of “Light” may be assigned 25L for departure.
| Designator | Dimensions | Pattern Direction |
|---|---|---|
| 24L | 10885 x 150 | NA |
| 24R | 8926 x 150 | right |
| 25L | 11095 x 200 | left |
| 25R | 12923 x 150 | NA |
- East operations: Departures 06R 07L, Arrivals 06L 07R
Aircraft parked south of runway 07R with a wake turbulence of “Light” may be assigned 07R for departure.
| Designator | Dimensions | Pattern Direction |
|---|---|---|
| 06L | 8926 x 150 | left |
| 06R | 10885 x 150 | NA |
| 07L | 12923 x 150 | NA |
| 07R | 11095 x 200 | right |
- Over-Ocean (Noise Abatement 0000L-0630L): Departures 25R, Arrivals 06R
Aircraft parked south of runway 07R with a wake turbulence of “Light” may be assigned 07R for departure.
| Designator | Dimensions | Pattern Direction |
|---|---|---|
| 06L | 8926 x 150 | left |
| 06R | 10885 x 150 | NA |
| 07L | 12923 x 150 | NA |
| 07R | 11095 x 200 | right |
¶ Go-around Procedures
Climb and maintain 5000ft Turn (Left / Right) (heading) or maintain runway heading
| Runway | Heading |
|---|---|
| 24R | Runway heading |
| 25L | Left 220° |
| 06L | Runway heading |
| 07R | Right 100° |
| 06R | Runway heading |
¶ VFR Closed Traffic Operations
- VFR pattern work is authorized on an individual basis, workload depending. Pattern work is not authorized if KSMO, KHHR, KTOA or KLGB are staffed. Tower has the ultimate authority to allow or deny any patterm requests.
- Use runways 24R/06L and 25L/07R only. Runway 24R/06L (north pattern) is strongly preferred where possible. South pattern is not authorized between 2100L-0700L.
- When the north pattern is in use, LA Tower assumes responsibility for all KSMO airspace south of the SMO VOR. When south pattern is in use, LA Tower assumes responsibility for the entirety of KHHR airspace.
¶ Takeoff Instructions
LAX has a waiver in place that permits target-resolution separation between aircraft departing from either of 24L/R and either of 25L/R until standard separation is established following the first turn so long as three conditions are met:
- Both aircraft are departing under instrument flight rules on an RNAV SID.
- LAX is in West or Over-Ocean operations.
- Departing aircraft must be issued the command “RNAV (to) (fix)” as part of their takeoff clearance, where (fix) is one of FABRA, DLREY, DOCKR, or HIIPR as appropriate for the runway. Example:
AAL1234, winds 240 at 10, RNAV DOCKR, runway 25R, cleared for takeoff.
¶ VFR transitions
There are five options for VFR aircraft wishing to transition from one side of the Los Angeles Bravo airspace to the other: four controlled Bravo transition routes and the Los Angeles Special Flight Rules Area (SFRA). Out of these routes, the SFRA is preferred as it reduces the workload on the controller. These routes are defined in order of preference as follows:
- LA SFRA (clearance not required): Flown along the SMO 132-degree radial at 3500ft Southeast or 4500ft Northwest. ATC clearance is neither required nor available along the route. All aircraft must squawk 1201 with altitude reporting enabled when flying this route. Regular position reports are required on 128.55, including (but not limited to) compulsory reporting over Imperial Highway, “LAX” (typically made over the KLAX runway 24L numbers), and Manchester Boulevard.
- Coastal Route (formerly “Shoreline”): Flown at an ATC assigned altitude between 5500 ft and 6500 ft inclusive (recommended 5500ft for Southbound, 6500ft for Northbound).
| Direction | Route |
|---|---|
| Northbound | Pilots are expected to be established on the LAX 123-degree radial before calling SoCal for a Bravo clearance over the Vincent-Thomas Bridge (VPLVT). After crossing the LAX VOR, turn right to proceed outbound on the LAX 323-degree radial until exiting the LAX class Bravo. |
| Southbound | Pilots are expected to be established on the LAX 323-degree radial before calling SoCal for a Bravo clearance abeam the Sepulveda Pass. After crossing the LAX VOR, turn left to proceed outbound on the LAX 123-degree radial until exiting the LAX class Bravo near the Vincent-Thomas Bridge (VPLVT). |
- Mini Route (traffic permitting, typically unavailable): Only permitted to be flown by fixed-wing, propeller-driven aircraft while LAX is in West or Over-Ocean configuration. Any other combination of aircraft type and configuration is not authorized. KLAX (as well as KHHR and KSMO if available) must be reporting ceilings of at least 3500ft and visibility of at least three miles. In addition, both KLAX_TWR and either KHHR_TWR (for Northbound) or KSMO_TWR (for Southbound) must be online. KLAX_APP or KSCT_APP may take the place of KHHR_TWR and KSMO_TWR if traffic load permits.
| Direction | Route |
|---|---|
| Northbound | Contact KHHR_TWR to be identified and sequenced. KHHR_TWR will hand traffic off to KLAX_TWR for a Bravo clearance over the Hawthorne ramp of the 405 freeway. Proceed direct SMO along the 128-degree radial at 2500ft until past Loyola Marymount University (LMU). |
| Southbound | Join the SMO 128-degree radial over the VOR (GPS: SMO direct VPLSR) level at 2500 ft. Contact KSMO_TWR to be identified and sequenced. KSMO_TWR will hand traffic off to KLAX_TWR for a Bravo clearance before crossing Loyola Marymount University (LMU). Proceed along the SMO 128-degree radial at 2500ft until reaching the Hawthorne ramp of the 405 freeway. |
¶ High Altitude
- Coliseum Route: Flown at an ATC assigned altitude (8500ft or 9500ft). Clearance required from SoCal before entering the LA class Bravo airspace.
| Direction | Route |
|---|---|
| Northbound | Enter the Bravo established on V23 until intersecting and following the VNY 125-degree radial over SLI. Remain on the radial until clear of the Bravo. |
| Southbound | Enter the Bravo established on the VNY 125-degree radial until reaching SLI, then follow V23 until exiting the airspace. |
- Hollywood Park Route: Flown at an ATC assigned altitude (8500 ft or 9500 ft) along the VNY 140-degree radial. Clearance required from SoCal before entering the LA class Bravo airspace.
¶ Southern California TRACON (Los Angeles)
Control position
| Position | Frequency | FRA |
|---|---|---|
| KLAX_APP | 124.30 MHz |  |
Southern California TRACON (Los Angeles) is a TRACON responsible for the airspace from the surface to 13,000 feet.
KLAX_APP is referred to either as “SoCal” or as the “Southern California TRACON” and the position as a whole should not be referred to by controllers as “SoCal Approach” as this would (incorrectly) imply the existence of a KLAX_DEP position.
“SoCal Approach” or “SoCal Departure” may be used by pilots to refer to a SoCal controller while radar approach or departure services (as appropriate) are being provided, but these labels are not intrinsic to the position and (for example) the same controller may be referred to by three different pilots on the same frequency as “SoCal”, “SoCal Approach”, and “SoCal Departure” depending on the services being received and the personal preferences of the pilots.
Pilots should endeavor to use “SoCal” as the radiotelephony callsign for the station whenever possible.
Typical departure clearance after takeoff:
Radar Contact, Climb and maintain One-Five Thousand Feet
KLAX_APP will then hand off traffic no later than 13,000 feet to Los Angeles Center (KZLA) or UNICOM.
¶ Traffic departing and arriving to/from KONT_APP airports.
KLAX_APP maintaints a shelf over KONT_APP where they overlap as follows:
KONT_APP online:
KLAX_APP is responsible for the airspace 7,000 to 13,000
KONT_APP offline:
KLAX_APP is responsible for the airspace 3,000 to 13,000
