FLC OF MLG ON STADIUM VISUAL TO LAX CLRED 24R ALIGNED WITH 25R.

Narrative

OVER SMO VORTAC; WE WERE CLRED THE STADIUM VISUAL 24R. WE ACKNOWLEDGED AND PROCEEDED VIA THE DEPICTED GND TRACK. ON THE BASE TURN; APCH SENT US OVER TO TWR FOR THE N COMPLEX. AS I DIALED IN TWR FREQ; I ALSO CHANGED THE F/O'S NAVAID FROM SMO TO ILAX FOR 24R. I THEN LOOKED UP; SAW THE HOLLYWOOD PARK RACETRACK (A VISUAL TURN POINT) THEN LOOKED OUT TO CHK FOR TFC FROM OUR L (THE E). THE FO STARTED TO CALL FOR FLAPS AND GEAR AND CHKLIST. WE FINISHED CONFIGURING AND I CALLED TWR AS WE ROLLED OUT ON CENTERLINE FOR THE R HAND RWY. TWR IMMEDIATELY RESPONDED BY TELLING US WE WERE LINED UP FOR 25R; WHEN WE HAD BEEN CLRED FOR 24R. AND OF COURSE; THEY WERE RIGHT! WE CORRECTED BACK TO 24R AND LANDED. I SIMPLY ALLOWED MYSELF TO GET TOO BUSY INSIDE AND FORGOT ABOUT THE ELEPHANTS! THE FO AND I DEBRIEFED THE INCIDENT IN THE CHOCKS; SO I THINK WE BOTH LEARNED A VALUABLE LESSON. ALL THE SQUARE FILLING WON'T DO YOU ANY GOOD IF YOU DON'T PAY ATTN TO THE FUNDAMENTALS. I DID A POOR JOB OF BACKING THE FO UP. MY MISTAKE.
