Ocean Ridge (E55) sits in Gualala, California. Field elevation is 933.6 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 13/31, which is 2,504 ft of asphalt and the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.
The published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless current local guidance says otherwise. With that, the pattern works out to about 1,934 ft MSL at this field. Runway 13/31 is closed at night. There are no runway lights. Full stop landings only are allowed on 13/31. Touch-and-go landings are not allowed. Intersection takeoffs are prohibited. Back taxi is required on runway 13. Full length takeoff only is required on 13/31.
This is a field where you want to brief the runway before you arrive. Deer are frequently on the runway. Aircraft are not visible from opposite ends because the runway slopes down from the midpoint south toward the runway 31 end. Expect turbulence in windy conditions. Calm wind favors runway 31. Runway 13/31 is closed to jets and ultralights. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so verify services with the airport operator or call the field directly before arrival.
