Santa Barbara Muni sits in Santa Barbara, California, right on the coast. Field elevation is 13.5 ft MSL. The airport has 3 asphalt runways. The longest is runway 07/25 at 6,052 ft. The airport is towered from 0600 to 2300. One ILS approach is published for runway 07.
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the current FAA Chart Supplement before flying the pattern. This field sits in Class C airspace. Expect normal SoCal traffic flow and stay sharp on radio work.
Signature Aviation and Atlantic Aviation are on the field. Both carry 100LL and Jet A. Runway 15L/33R is daylight only. Noise abatement procedures are in effect. Contact airport operations before arrival if you need the current local guidance. The remarks also say birds are numerous on and near the airport. That matters here. Keep a close scan on climbout, approach and taxi.
The commercial airline ramp is closed to all general aviation aircraft. Air traffic control contact is required on 121.7 before pushback from the terminal ramp. International arrivals are not allowed because no customs personnel or facilities are available. If you are bringing a larger aircraft or planning overnight parking, check the published remarks and call airport operations first.
