CAT-11 cruise altitude
Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2018 12:24 pm
This is probably obvious, but just to be sure I'm requesting a clarification - when we fly the CAT-11, is our cruise altitude after leaving Bravo airspace our own choice (within VFR altitude requirements and staying clear of LAX Bravo of course), or are we required to fly at 7500?
I had originally planned to fly it at 5500, but decided instead based upon the example narrative to fly it at 7500 on my first attempt. I ended up failing because I was so focused on the 100/80 Bravo airspace over San Pedro that I completely forgot about the 100/70 Bravo section over Huntington Pier while climbing to 7500. Had I flown my originally planned altitude I'd have missed that (which is one reason I wasn't paying enough attention to it - 100% my own fault).
