Attention Pilots

Runway 10/28 is currently open but only the dirt surface on the North side of the runway should be used for aircraft operations.

Check this page for updates and be sure to contact 951-763-4192 for runway status before flying in, and always look for 'X' markings on the runway thresholds indicating closure for maintenance.


Airspace

  • Class G airspace surrounds 54CL for a 10 mile radius 
  • Going 15 miles in any direction will keep you out of Class B, C, and D airspace

Weather

  • Usually 340+ days a year of clear and unlimited VFR flying.
  • Why? We're in a wide open valley 3400' ft above sea level, protected in 360 degrees from any of that coastal fog -or smog- that may roll in down in the city
  • Wind can blow in from either the west or the east, so check either of our windsocks to determine whether to use Runway 10 or Runway 28 before landing or taking off
  • Believe it or not, in the heart of winter, we get an occasional dusting of snow.  This is beautiful but usually gone by the next day

  • Altitiude: 3410' MSL, Dimensions: 3500'x75'
  • Runway 10 and 28
  • Paved run-up areas at both ends
  • Smooth, hard packed and chemically stabilized decomposed granite on the rest of the field
  • Please DO NOT fly 1 or 2 days after the rain. We try and take good care of our runway.  Letting the water absorb into the slurry after the rains prevents ruts
