Van Nuys Pilot Reviews:

April 9, 2026Paid my first Vector landing fee in March-$16.42 for a 182. AOPA is lobbying against these ADSB fees. I'll be avoiding VNY from here on out.

March 13, 2026Access from Taxiway A1 to the Jet FBO is shut down permanently. Controllers seem to use it as a little trap..it’s hardly ever (if ever) NOTAMed, but it almost always gets called out in the ATIS. So if you don’t copy the whole ATIS, you can end up getting busted trying to use it. Nobody really seems to know why they don’t just decommission it or remove the taxiway altogether.
