Franklin Fld is in Franklin, California. The field elevation is 23.1 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 3,123 ft on runway 18/36. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. Monitor 122.9 within 5 miles. Expect a lot of student training in the area. Ultralights also operate nearby. Runway 18 is the calm wind runway. Taxiway B is permanently closed. Avoid overflight of the detention facility on the east side of the airport except in an emergency.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF for current FBO availability. For clearance delivery, the published contact is NorCal Approach at 916-361-6874. The airport manager is based at Sacramento Executive Airport. Pilots should also note the 12,500 pound gross weight limit on all runways. With the low field elevation, the main issues are traffic flow, training traffic and staying clear of the published no-overflight area.
