Flights arriving from the Pacific

Post by ceranes »

I am starting a FedEX flight in the Pacific and will be landing at either LAX or OAK. At what point during the flight should I contact LAX Center? Is it at a certain DME from the LAX VOR? Thanks.

You can use the HI chart to determine where the airspace boundaries are. Coming from the Pacific it's at the end of the "R" airways. FICKY, ELKEY, DINTY, AUDIA, etc. IIRC, the Oakland Center boundaries start before the "R" tracks end. Just look at the chart and you can quickly determine where the airspace boundary is.
