I used to instruct out of Henderson executive. KVGT is a challenging airport surface yet, it's great as a learning tool because it's not so hard where a well prepared, attentive, safe student can't mitigate the challenges. The controllers do a GREAT job at North Las Vegas.
We need to fix this - this video warned against the high risk for misidentification of the landing surface, which might have caused the midair collision. It's difficult to understand how we can have such a total failure of separation at a major controlled airfield.
I'm looking into buying a condo that's right by this airport, I can literally see the unit in the video. You sir have no idea the type of bird's eye view you are giving me lol thank you so much for this video.
Hm. I had to fly into KVGT once. Being unfamiliar, I clearly asked the ground controller for "progressive taxi instructions" to the ramp on a slow day. He told me to "taxi to the ramp", and when I got a little confused, he chewed me out. Not all that impressed.
Whoever puts these together is a genius. We need these videos for every airport.

I can tell the video was redone to include the 97CX and 160RA incident. Good points in this video
Good catch, yes
This is where I did all my flight training and I never had this issue. The seperation and lighting is pretty well done in my opinion.
What a great way to increase the pilot's situational awareness! very well explained!
As a new private pilot this video helped a lot!

Amazing Thanks for putting this video together
