Some of you pilots like to fly into KLAX. There are 4 parallel runways and they use them all at once. The big jets usually have a long final where we would intercept the LOC 30 miles from the airport and do a step down arrival while the tower would feed smaller planes into the ILS when there was space. Here is a look at what it would be like to be in the cockpit of a commuter plane, or maybe a DC-9/MD-80 flying into KLAX after sunset. Watch for the traffic on the other runways. If you connection is fast, run it at HD 720-P and turn up the sound!

This is the SADDE 6 Arrival into KLAX from the north. In the video you can follow the arrival using this chart.

Here is the approach plate for runway 24R - the one used in this video. Remember there are three other runways, all in use!
The yellow is the path the video plane took, and the red dashed line is the ILS RW 24R. The video is speed-ed up, but you can still get a good idea how it looks.
