Due to ongoing taxiway and runway construction, general aviation operators arriving from the north and west will be given the LEENA FIVE arrival in order to route them to the south side of the airport. General aviation flight operators coming into LAX from the north and west should file the LEENA FIVE STAR to avoid a reroute from FAA ATC.
The change to the LEENA FIVE arrival is due to the significant constraints of moving aircraft from the north complex to the south complex where the fixed-based operators are located.
The standard procedure for aircraft arriving from the north and west is to do the right downwind to Runway 24R. The LEENA FIVE arrival will transition aircraft to the south side of the airport for an arrival to Runway 25L.
For general aviation flights operating to LAX from an internal Los Angeles-area airport, Southern California TRACON will tactically manage the route in order to get them to the south side of the airport. The operational plan is to also utilize the LEENA FIVE for general aviation operations until the Runway 25R/7L construction project is completed in early May 2017.
