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.

Runway 30: straight out past the diamond-shaped waterway, right downwind, then left at midfield toward Coyote Hills.

The route

  1. Fly straight out until just past the diamond-shaped waterway, then turn right downwind
  2. At midfield, turn left towards Coyote Hills
  3. Use caution for aircraft inbound from Coyote Hills

Where it actually is

North up. The sponsor names these landmarks and publishes no coordinate for any of them — everything positioned here is derived, and each coordinate's provenance is listed with its point below. Dashed markers are depicted: this site's reading of the written route, not published fixes.

Put it in the GPS

Route points become a route; reference points ship as waypoints only — a GPS that sequences you to a do-not-overfly marker has it backwards.
