Independence Airport sits in Independence, California. Field elevation is 3,908.2 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is runway 14/32 at 3,533 ft. Runway 5/23 is 1,498 ft dirt. The published remarks say it is closed for public use and unsafe for aircraft. The field is not towered. CTAF is 122.9. Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 4,708.2 ft MSL.

There are no ILS approaches published here. The airport is leased and maintained by Inyo County. The airport manager is the Director of Public Works for Inyo County. Medium intensity runway lighting is available on runway 14/32. It is activated by using the CTAF. Published remarks also note large cracks on the north end of runway 14/32. That is worth a close look before you plan a landing.

For a first-time arrival, the big points are elevation, runway condition and the lack of tower services. Expect high-density-altitude performance to matter here because the field sits above 3,900 ft MSL. If you need clearance delivery, contact Joshua Approach at 661-277-3843. Runway 5/23 has faded markings. It has no numbers or centerline markings. Brush is present in places. Treat it as closed for public use and do not plan on it.
