Whiteman Airport sits in Los Angeles, California. Field elevation is 1,003 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 12/30, which is 4,120 ft long. The tower is open from 0800 to 2000. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Billion Air is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call them at (818) 454-0985 for current services. The airport sits under SOCAL Class C coverage on the published frequencies. That matters for first-time arrivals because you will want to be set up early. You should also be ready for handoffs.
The published remarks show several close-in obstacles. Runway 12 and 30 both have trees, fences, buildings, roads and light standards near the ends. The 12 side also has displaced-threshold approach considerations. Helicopter operations are limited to 2,500 ft MSL and below. The field has a voluntary curfew. Arrivals and departures should be avoided between 2200 and 0600 unless the flight is emergency, public safety, or another listed exception. When the tower is closed, airport lighting stays on continuously. Dirt infield areas are present, so helicopter pilots should watch for blowing debris.
