Brackett Field sits in La Verne, California. Field elevation is 1,013.9 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 4,840 ft on 08R/26L. The control tower is open from 0700 to 2100 local. When the tower is closed, airport lighting runs continuously from 2100 to 0700 local. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
KPOC has one ILS approach for runway 26L. That matters if you are planning an arrival in lower visibility. Runway 08L/26R is unlighted. The published remarks also call out noise abatement procedures. Check the current Chart Supplement before you go. Rapidly rising terrain sits about 1 mile west-northwest of the airport. That is worth keeping in mind on departure and on the downwind side. Birds and wildlife are also reported in the area.
American Airports is on the field. It carries 100LL. If you need anything beyond that, call the FBO directly before arrival. Clearance delivery when the tower is closed goes through SoCal Approach. The airport has a busy metro feel. Plan for towered operations. Plan for noise awareness. Plan for terrain on the west side.
