Thank you, you validate my point exactly. The ONLY way a bugsmasher can fly over the top of LAX is with an ATC clearance, not willy nilly flying in Yanksville is great because I can go where I want when I want.

The fact is that, as shown on your FAA chart, the approach corridors into LAX below 10,000 are Class B.

The reason that B is only a few miles wide is because jets can't land across a runway; the reason that not all CTRs are round eg YBAS or YPPH.
