  • Coordinates
    N34-12.59, W118-29.40

  • Magnetic variation:
    14 degrees East

  • Hours of operation:
    24. Tower = 0600 to 2245 LCL

  • Elevation:
    799 ft.

Runway 16L-34R:

    1. Length = 4,000 ft.
    2. Width = 75 ft.
    3. Primary surface = asphalt
    4. Lights = MIRL

Runway 16L

    1. Displaced threshold = 1440 ft.
    2. Railroad line and fence north of airport
    3. Runway slope = 0.698% down

Runway 34R

    1. VASI = GA - 3.0 degrees
    2. TCH = 26 feet
    3. Right traffic

Runway 16R-34L:

    1. Length = 8,001 ft.
    2. Width = 150 ft.
    3. Primary surfaces = asphalt, concrete
    4. Lights = HIRL

Runway 16R

    1. Displaced threshold = 1430 ft.
    2. Railroad line and fence north of airport.
    3. MALSR
      Note: when the tower is closed, activate MALSR on 119.3.
    4. VASI = GA - 3.9 degrees

    1. Tower = 119.3 (150 - 359 degrees and departing Rwy 16R/34L)
      120.2 (360 - 149 degrees and departing Rwy 16L/34R)
      119.0 - Helicopter operations
    2. Ground control = 121.7
    3. Clearance delivery = 126.6
    4. CTAF = 119.3.
      Note: due to the high number of operations at VNY, pilots are strongly encouraged to use the CTAF procedures between the hours of 2245 and 0600 LCL.
