Brackett Field (POC)

Brackett Field (POC) is a primary general aviation hub serving the Pomona Valley and the greater Los Angeles basin, located in La Verne approximately 1 mile southwest of the city center. The airport features a functional passenger terminal building that serves as the central hub for private pilots, corporate charters, and multiple flight schools including the Mt. San Antonio College Aviation Department. It acts as a critical infrastructure link for Southern California, providing a professional base for flight operations and administrative support for the regional business community. The terminal infrastructure provides a variety of essential amenities across its unified layout, featuring a comfortable waiting lobby, clean public restroom facilities, and a dedicated pilot shop selling training aids and aviation-themed gifts. A highly popular on-site feature is 'Norm’s Hangar Restaurant,' which features an outdoor patio situated just 300 feet from the runway and famously pipes in live audio from the Brackett Tower for diners. Adjacent to the terminal is a tree-shaded public park and picnic area with outdoor grills, making the airport a unique social destination for both pilots and local families. Technical services at the field are comprehensive, managed by the on-site FBO, American Airports Corporation, which provides 24-hour fueling for 100LL Avgas and Jet A fuel. The airport features two substantial asphalt runways, including a 4,839-foot primary strip (8R/26L) equipped with an Instrument Landing System (ILS). Ground transportation is well-supported by pre-arranged rental services and proximity to local bus routes, providing a quick 5-minute link to the L.A. County Fairplex, the Auto Club Raceway at Pomona, and the scenic Puddingstone Reservoir.
