No, they wont wait till dark. Pilot needs to make this landing near perfect.
He's on the south side of Catalina island, about 26 miles from LAX
Pilot just said he's dialing in seal beach VOR, at 6000 feet, heading towards seal beach.
He's either got to do it soon, or wait till the sun goes down, since the glare will be a problem if he's pointed at it. I don't know if the runway is straight into the sun or off at an angle - I'm only going from the speculations I've heard from others on the thread.
