Van Nuys trip planning: FBOs, runway context, ground time and charter costs
Operating context at VNY
LAWA lists four major FBOs at Van Nuys: Clay Lacy Aviation, Jet Aviation, Signature Aviation, and Castle & Cooke Aviation. Confirm the named FBO and street address before dispatching a car because the airport code alone does not identify the passenger pickup point.
LAWA describes two parallel runways: an 8,000-foot primary runway and a 4,000-foot training runway, with a full ILS serving the longer runway. Crews should verify current NOTAMs, published procedures, runway status and airport operating rules for the actual mission.
