I hate the traffic paaterns at LAX. Four, count 'em, (4) essentially parallel runways, planes being switched between them in the late stages of landing, taxiways that must cross runways with landing and departing aricraft. It is a clustf*ck waiting to happen.

To add to the confusion, there are two tower frequencies: one for the north two runways, another for the southern runways. So the plane coming in to land next to your plane is probably talking to a different controller than you!

LAX always gives me the willies. Was not too long ago a controller landed a plane right on top of another on the runway. Grisly.......

Mayor Dummy has plans for 5 or 6 parallel runways at O'Hare; that will be a sight to behold.

Atlanta Hartsfield(-Jackson) is the same way. Four parallel runways with the terminal in the center, I think they take off on the inner ones and land on the outer ones. And they're adding a fifth.

What's DTW's report card ?

Ever fly into the old Hong Kong, Kai Tak?

You flew first ILS led DIRECTLY from outer marker into cliff side, but you changed frequencies at middle marker, made a 70 degree right and flew second ILS to touchdown.

Loads of fun.

I think she was cross-trained afterward into TRACON.
