The "TCA" Terminal Control Area, had been in use at most major airports for quite some time prior to PSA..San Diego after the accident was "provided" with a knee-jerk Group 1 tca which covered the whole place basically with no vfr corridor provided to transit the area north-southbound, so the small airplanes were all relegated to the chore of flying around the new TCA east of the area in close proximity to the high terrain, (and each other), after much squabbling and complaining, the FAA relented and provided a vfr corridor not unlike the one directly overhead LAX at the time to alleviate the headaches being suffered by GA pilots. To put it into perspective, the TCA at LAX had a ceiling of 7500 feet, whereas the new TCA at SAN was up to 12,500!! Light plane pilots were definately the bad guys in the eyes of the public for quite some time following the accident, and unfairly so, as many factors were involved in the collision, primarily the "see and avoid" principle which was in effect, as PSA had reported having the Cessna in sight..mistakenly so...got a good pix shot by an acquaintance that i downloaded off of air disaster.com which shows the final few seconds of the 727 about 300' in the air..don't know hpw to attach it...
