Flying M Ranch (3A5) sits near Yerington, Nevada. The field elevation is 4,921.8 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 18/36 at 5,662 ft on asphalt. Runway 08/26 is 1,877 ft on dirt. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published. The pattern altitude is not published, so verify the current traffic pattern in the Chart Supplement before you go. For a light piston, the usual default is 1,000 ft AGL. That would put you around 5,922 ft MSL here.
This is a high-elevation strip, so density altitude will matter. The published remarks also say runway 08/26 is normally closed because of a cattle fence at the intersection with runway 18/36. The recommended departure is runway 18. The recommended landing is runway 36 because of slope and terrain obstructions. Prior permission is required. Special pilot familiarization, training, equipment and aircraft are recommended.
No on-field FBOs are listed. No frequencies are published in the facts provided. Helipad H1 lighting is unserviceable. If you plan to use the helipad, note the published ingress and egress directions in the Chart Supplement. Call ahead using the listed permission numbers.
