There may be others like this one but it's the only one with which I'm familiar. There are several other rules specific to this corridor (specified VOR radials and altitude for direction of flight, e.g., NW or SE, Xponder squawk 1201, blind position announce on special freq. while in corridor, no ATC clearance required, lights ON, and maybe a couple of others as well - it's been a while since I regularly flew in that area). These are all the result of regaining the use of the corridor following it's closure after a collision between a GA aircraft and a Mexicana Airline DC-9 over a LA suburb some years ago. (The crash was not in the then existing corridor but it was closed for a long time anyway). Bottom line: if you plan to fly in the LA area, have the current paper TA chart on board. Dan Schaefer
