Vancouver Intl is in Vancouver, British Columbia. Field elevation is 14 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 08R/26L at 11,500 ft. Tower is open 24 hours. No ILS approaches are published, so check current procedures before you go. The published pattern altitude is not listed. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC gives different instructions.
This is a busy controlled field with two parallel runways. Runway 08L/26R is 9,940 ft. Runway 08R/26L is 11,500 ft. Magnetic variation is 19°. Published remarks note migratory birds in the area from about October through April. That matters on arrival and departure, especially during low light or seasonal weather changes.
No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly or call the field on frequency for current FBO availability and services before arrival. For a first-time pilot, the main things to verify are current arrival and departure procedures, runway assignment and any bird activity advisories. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any additional operational notes before flying in.
