Apple Valley Airport sits in Apple Valley, California at 3,061.5 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 18/36 at 6,498 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8, with automated UNICOM service and radio check responses noted in the Chart Supplement. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published in the standard sense for this field. Use 1,000 ft AGL for runway 18/36. Use 800 ft AGL for runway 08/26. That matters here because the airport sits in rising terrain. Hills are noted northeast, east, west and north of the airport. Runway 08/26 is also closed to night operations because of rapidly rising terrain on both sides. On approach to runway 36, expect to cross runway 08/26.
MAG Aviation Fuel is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Self-serve fuel is available 24 hours. Runway 18/36 is lighted. Precision approach path indicators for 18 and 36 are on continuously. Runway 08/26 has faded markings and a missing centerline on 08. Large cracks and raveling are also reported on 08/26. Runway 08/26 is closed to aircraft over 12,500 pounds without prior permission from the airport manager.
