These automated systems have been a life saver.

I enjoyed how you highlighted where the plane should be going to — stopping short of in blue in the video.

Must Commend the Air France pilots for their training and being unafraid to cancel take off clearance. Well done!

I hate that horrible hollow gut feeling you get when you realise do something wrong at work, and I'm only in retail. I can't even begin imagine the stress you'd feel as a pilot hearing those dreaded words "possible pilot deviation" 😂

There's nothing else on YouTube like this. The attention to detail, professionalism and graphics are next level. Thanks for coming back! Simply amazing!!!

Cool video. It is really hard for non-aviation people like me to understand what is going on just listening to the audio. With your visualization, it is quite clear, thanks

Great graphics. Good safety system. Terrifying amount of traffic that has to be managed near perfectly to maintain safety. Good job to the pilots and controllers who keep it working, especially when a mistake happens.

There's a hump in the runway of 24L, you can barely see the tail of a large aircraft, let alone a small Gulfstream. Those lights are a lifesaver.

I think N650XY rolled into the high‑speed turnoff at Victor with too much speed, couldn’t slow down quickly enough, and ended up overshooting the hold bar for RWY 24L.

Those Air France Pilots were absolute pros

@Michael_K_Woods 5 months ago

I watch a lot of plane spotting at LAX and this isn’t the first time a crew over shot the hold short off one of the high speeds.

Great breakdown. Appreciate you showing both the airport map and approach simultaneously.

oh someone's in trouble

Great to see the warning system in action!

Good training and professionalism from the Air France crew.

Thanks for including the possible pilot deviation for the Gulf private plane.

@45likplakkafe 5 months ago

incredible video, all details are remarkable, especially blue double lines, double screen partitions, playing alone whole traffic, etc. Great efforts dude, thank you very very much. I liked it...:hand-pink-waving::face-red-heart-shape:

The graphics and presentation are outstanding - by far the best online - well done

@Bobrogers99 5 months ago

The visual was especially clear and easy to follow!

Thank you for an excellent visualization... subscribed!

I was aware that KLAX runway incursion rate has historically been vaguely terrifying, but was somehow aware of RWSL... elegantly simple in communication, doubtless complex to commission - but a clear saver of many lives.
