Human Factors; Procedure
Prior to departure; we thoroughly reviewed arrival options considering the terrain and lack of good approaches into HND. The safest option was visual to [Runway] 17R. We would have a 3-4 knot tailwind but it was the best choice for our night arrival.We requested the [Runway] 17R visual with Las Vegas approach and they said HND would assign our runway. We again requested [Runway] 17R on initial contact with HND Tower. We were told that [Runway] 35L was the active and they could not accommodate our request. We were vectored to a five mile final for [Runway] 35L and we had the airport including the VASI clearly in sight. At 4-5 mile final we were on the VASI and began descent below 4;000 feet. We received a terrain advisory and we executed a go around. We notified Tower and requested landing on [Runway] 17R. We flew a left visual to [Runway] 17R and landed on [Runway] 17R.With the terrain south of HND; I do not think [we] should land on [Runway] 35L or R. The VASI is 4.3 [degrees] and there is no room for error.
CL-350 First Officer reported receiving a GPWS terrain warning on a night visual approach to Runway 35L at HND.
