For pattern work, the facts block does not publish a pattern altitude for KBUR. Use the current FAA Chart Supplement before you fly. The field has two on-field FBOs. Atlantic Aviation is on the field and carries 100LL and Jet A. Hollywood Burbank Jet Jenter is also on the field and carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call ahead if you need current ramp handling or fuel service details.
This is a busy Southern California airport. The published remarks matter. Aircraft with a wingspan over 79 ft have taxi limits on parts of the field. Runway 15 has a note that it is unusable beyond 5 degrees left of centerline. There is also an EMAS at the departure end of runway 08. Pilots should call ahead for airport noise rules. The airport also restricts general aviation parking on the terminal ramp. If you are new to KBUR, brief the taxi plan before engine start. Verify the current Chart Supplement for any local procedures.
