vfr departure Airport sponsor published verified 2026-08-27 (43 d ago)
Published by the airport sponsor; voluntary unless ATC assigns it. If ATC assigns this route to you in Class B, C or D airspace, that assignment is an ATC instruction and compliance is required (14 CFR 91.123) — and “unable” remains available to the pilot in command.
The guide's west-flow corridor map: preferred departure corridors west/northwest/north, southwest and east/northeast, and 45° pattern joins from north and south.
The route
- Preferred W/NW/N VFR departures, preferred S/SW VFR departures, and preferred E/NE VFR departures — corridors are drawn on the guide's map, not named or described in prose
- Preferred northern VFR arrival: join traffic on the 45°
- Preferred southern VFR arrival: join traffic on the 45°
- VFR straight-in arrivals remain at or above glide slope; avoid low approaches
- Three areas on the map are marked AVOID — two west/northwest of the field and one east/northeast
- Pattern altitude 1,400' MSL
When it applies
- Runway 25L or 25R — west flow The map is titled "LVK 25R/25L CIRCULATION PLAN"; the guide publishes no equivalent plan for runways 07L/07R. The corridors are drawn arrows with the labels quoted above — the guide gives them no names, waypoints or altitudes
