Narrative:
Sna departure aircraft turn to a 175 degree heading 1 mi south of the airport. The class C airspace section bounded by the sna 185 degree radial and 159 degree radial from 5-10 DME should be raised to 5400 ft MSL. This would protect the aircraft which climb to 5000 ft on departure. This block currently goes to 4400 ft.
