There is someone here whose husband is a pilot who has flown into that place. Said it can be confusing.

I learned to fly at the same airport. It's not all that confusing.

“”I learned to fly at the same airport. It’s not all that confusing. “”

My husband’s several log books are full of student’s names he’d trained and none of them ever pulled such a trick - at JWA or anywhere else. A number of them went on to obtain other ratings and ended up at airlines after building their time flight instructing.

No one in our flight operation was allowed to fly to Catalina or into LAX without a checkout at those places first. Two accidents by members in all those years and that was caused by “density altitude” at North Las Vegas and one at Kern River. JWA might sound intimidating to some because at one time it was THE busiest in the nation but no longer as I understand it. We ourselves used to fly into LAX to pick up family flying in there.
