The number of actual arrivals and departures to LAX isn't that many of the planes on the map proportionately. I'm not saying it's an easy job at all, just that the map is a bit confusing when you figure that you've got about 35,000 feet of vertical room to sort out the ones just flying by but not landing or taking off...
