Course rules to OLF Santa Rosa include which VFR checkpoints?

• A. Able, Pond, Pond Creek Bridge
• B. Baker, Pond, Pond Creek Bridge
• C. Able, Fish, Pond Creek Bridge
• D. Able, Fish, Tower 438

Answer: (C)

VFR checkpoints are the ground references you use to describe your position within the OLF Santa Rosa pattern. The published set for this field is Able, Fish, and Pond Creek Bridge. Each of these landmarks is a distinct, easily identifiable feature you can spot from the air and reference in your position reports and pattern entries. Able serves as an initial inbound reference, Fish provides a reliable point further along the approach area, and Pond Creek Bridge marks a fixed location near Pond Creek used to confirm position or turns in the pattern. The other options include landmarks that aren’t part of Santa Rosa’s official checkpoint list, or use a different feature (like Pond instead of Fish), which wouldn’t align with the published references. So Able, Fish, and Pond Creek Bridge are the checkpoints you should know for Santa Rosa.
