Hot spots at KLAX

3 hot spots drawn on the map, with the Chart Supplement’s description for each.

  • HS 1 Runway incursion risk. Rwy 24L at Twys V, W and Y. Short distance between parallel runways. After landing Rwy 24R, manage taxi speed and expect to hold short of Rwy 24L at the appropriate runway holding position markings.
  • HS 2 Runway incursion risk. Rwy 25L at Twy F. Aircraft cross Rwy 25L holding position markings without authorization. Aircraft on Twy A instructed by ATC to turn onto Twy F, expect to hold short of Rwy 25L.
  • HS 3 Surface Incident Risk. Twy F from Twy A. Aircraft are frequently instructed by ATC to hold short of Twy F at the intermediate holding position markings. Do not proceed onto Twy F without ATC clearance.

Locations on the airport surface with a history of confusion or runway incursions — brief them against the diagram before taxi. Source: FAA Chart Supplement, reproduced verbatim on the 56-day cycle; the numbers match the circled HS markers on the diagram.

Takeoff, alternate and surface information

  • Takeoff minimums are published for KLAX. Standard is 1 statute mile visibility for one and two engine aircraft (½ mile for more than two) unless this section says otherwise; Part 91 operators are not bound by them but the obstacle notes apply to everyone.
  • A diverse vector area (DVA) is established, so ATC can issue radar vectors below the minimum vectoring altitude right after departure.
