Narrative:

Visuals to runways 25L-24R at lax. Late turn on, high and tight for vectors to visual runway 24R lax. We had flown in from the north and were currently on 070 degree heading eastbound smo on vectors for a visual lax. Air carrier Y had missed a radio call and was messing up approach control. Center vectored us for a visual runway 24R and told us not to overshoot runway 24L localizer due to traffic landing runway 25L. The 230 degree heading was late (180 KIAS) 5500 ft AGL (high and tight), 30 degree angle of bank shot us through runway 24L localizer by half a DOT. We notified approach. Approach confirmed we still had runway 25L traffic and field in sight. We confirmed that and then were given the visual to runway 24R and told to switch to tower. At no time did we interfere with traffic on approach or landing runway 25L.

Title: AN ACR MLG OVERSHOT THE RWY 24R LOC AT LAX WITH EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES. TRACK HDG DEV.

Narrative: VISUALS TO RWYS 25L-24R AT LAX. LATE TURN ON, HIGH AND TIGHT FOR VECTORS TO VISUAL RWY 24R LAX. WE HAD FLOWN IN FROM THE N AND WERE CURRENTLY ON 070 DEG HDG EBOUND SMO ON VECTORS FOR A VISUAL LAX. ACR Y HAD MISSED A RADIO CALL AND WAS MESSING UP APCH CTL. CTR VECTORED US FOR A VISUAL RWY 24R AND TOLD US NOT TO OVERSHOOT RWY 24L LOC DUE TO TFC LNDG RWY 25L. THE 230 DEG HDG WAS LATE (180 KIAS) 5500 FT AGL (HIGH AND TIGHT), 30 DEG ANGLE OF BANK SHOT US THROUGH RWY 24L LOC BY HALF A DOT. WE NOTIFIED APCH. APCH CONFIRMED WE STILL HAD RWY 25L TFC AND FIELD IN SIGHT. WE CONFIRMED THAT AND THEN WERE GIVEN THE VISUAL TO RWY 24R AND TOLD TO SWITCH TO TWR. AT NO TIME DID WE INTERFERE WITH TFC ON APCH OR LNDG RWY 25L.
