Narrative:
A military aircraft was released and departed NAS nuq in route to NAS N6Z. The procedure is to climb to 1600' and vector for visibility or gca approach to N6Z. Their aircraft flies through a VFR corridor in route. VFR aircraft fly this corridor below the TCA nebnd. The altitude that the aircraft climbs to is not correct when you take into account TCA requirements and known VFR departure rtes. A safer procedure should be developed for transbay departures. Either a route or altitude change would be better.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: CTLR COMPLAINS ABOUT ACFT FLYING UNDER THE TCA THROUGH A VFR CORRIDOR.
Narrative: A MIL ACFT WAS RELEASED AND DEPARTED NAS NUQ IN RTE TO NAS N6Z. THE PROC IS TO CLB TO 1600' AND VECTOR FOR VIS OR GCA APCH TO N6Z. THEIR ACFT FLIES THROUGH A VFR CORRIDOR IN RTE. VFR ACFT FLY THIS CORRIDOR BELOW THE TCA NEBND. THE ALT THAT THE ACFT CLBS TO IS NOT CORRECT WHEN YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT TCA REQUIREMENTS AND KNOWN VFR DEP RTES. A SAFER PROC SHOULD BE DEVELOPED FOR TRANSBAY DEPS. EITHER A RTE OR ALT CHANGE WOULD BE BETTER.
