Sun Valley Airport (A20) is in Bullhead City, Arizona. The field elevation is 725 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 3,700 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 122.975 for traffic and for runway light activation. No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise, which puts the pattern at 1,725 ft MSL based on the field elevation.
This is a VFR-only field. Published remarks say all operations remain east. Straight-in and departure operations are not authorized. Runway 36 has a nonstandard visual glide slope indicator on the left side of the runway. Runway 18 has nonstandard length and width markings. Brush and dirt piles are reported near the threshold area. Brush also runs close to the runway edge for much of the length. That makes a careful stabilized approach important here. Sun Valley Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries AVGAS 100LL and JET A. Self-serve fuel is available 24 hours with credit card. There is also a fee for transient tie-down storage. For clearance delivery, contact Los Angeles ARTCC. Check the current Chart Supplement before flight for the latest operational notes.
