aviatorhi:
While there seems to be a lot of back and forth going on here, the OP hasn't specified the type of approach nor the clearance he is on.
Correct, which is why in my first post I made reference to both possibilities (for LAX, that is) with my AIM references.
LAX seldom uses visual approaches from the east or south. They do, however, for arrivals from the north, northwest, and west. Both visual procedures are charted; one for the north complex and one for the south complex.
