California General Aviation Airports
Airports generate revenue, value, life-saving services
and link neighborhoods to the world. The attract businesses, generate commercial
and tax revenue; ensure life saving medical, emergency response and firefighting
protections. Even with these positive attributes, airports are in danger of
disappearing.

California are doing to protect their airports.
Las Vegas Airport Hot Spots
Many Southern California airspace users
frequently travel to Las Vegas. LAS has two sets of parallel
runways with the terminal set in the middle while the general aviation
fixed base operators are generally on the west side of the airport.
This leads to a complex set of taxiway needs; and as a result, LAS has
identified a number of Hot Spots on the airport. For example, the
Hold Short lines for Rwy 7L and Rwy
1L are co-located northwest of Rwy 7L. This is particularly
confusing when Runway 7 is active; and/or if both 7L and 1L are active
for take offs. Runway heading alignment is critical after being
held for takeoff at either of these runways. The LAS Hot Spots are
depicted in a two-page .pdf
brochure format here; and there is a
one-page .pdf format suitable for use
on a knee board here.
