Los Angeles Intl has 4 runways. The longest is 07L/25R at 12,923 ft on concrete. The shortest is 06L/24R at 8,926 ft on asphalt-concrete. Tower control is in use 24 hours. ILS is published for all runway ends. The runway headings in the FAA data are 83° and 263° magnetic for each pair. Noise abatement is a key factor here. Westerly takeoffs are noise sensitive. No turns are permitted before crossing the shoreline. Over-ocean approaches are used from 0000 to 0630. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for runway details before the flight.

Traffic pattern
Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless ATC assigns otherwise. KLAX is tower controlled, so ATC sequences the pattern. Right traffic is published for 24R, 24L, 07L and 07R. The airport also has noise abatement limits that affect departures and arrivals. Westerly takeoffs are noise sensitive. No turns are permitted before crossing the shoreline. Over-ocean approaches are used from 0000 to 0630. Expect tight coordination with tower for any pattern work.
Every end, one page
Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
