Van Nuys Airport sits in Van Nuys, California at 802.1 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 16R/34L at 8,001 ft. The airport is towered from 0600 to 2245. One ILS approach is published for runway 16R. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
This is a busy Class C field with a lot of jet traffic. Expect close sequencing. Stay sharp on taxi instructions. The airport has six on-field FBOs. Park VNY carries 100LL. Signature Aviation - West carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Clay Lacy Aviation carries Jet A and Jet A Prist. Jet Aviation Van Nuys carries 100LL and Jet A. Signature Aviation - East carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Castle & Cooke Aviation carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist.
Noise rules matter here. The airport has an extreme noise-sensitive environment. There is a curfew for repetitive prop operations between late evening and early morning. Takeoff noise limits also apply. Formation arrivals and departures are prohibited except for emergency response aircraft. When the tower is closed, use the published lighting procedures. Contact SoCal Approach for clearance delivery. Taxiway A2 and A3 are non-visual areas. Pilots taxiing out from the northwest airfield must contact the tower at checkpoint 1 on taxiway A2.
