I'm not from the area, but might have the opportunity to be flying an RV out of Santa Monica for a couple weeks in the fall. The flying will be leisurely, VFR, 1 hour or shorter flights. The airspace in the region looks daunting to me, even though I regularly fly in and around a class B. I still have to study the charts more carefully but, in the meanwhile, what is the general sense for ops in this area?
Is the KSMO tower unfriendly or limiting about staying in the pattern?
Except for the special corridors north/south, must one just stay low level under the class B going east, e.g., to Upland, or does SoCal readily give out codes for entry into class B?
