Piper Arrow - you have hit the nail on the head. I will say, in fairness, when I first started operating into LAX I found the airspace "setup" a little disconcerting. That's because I was comparing it to Australian airspace & separation requirements.
Now, thirteen (13) years later, I can only put my original concern down to two things - different & new. NOT unsafe & dangerous.
AS I have stated on another thread, all will go ahead on the 27th and on the 28th, the sun will rise again.
