Blythe Airport (KBLH) sits in Blythe, California. Field elevation is 399.6 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 08/26 at 6,543 ft. Runway 17/35 is 5,800 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 1,199.6 ft MSL. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan on non-precision work and current weather minimums. Patton Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call (760) 922-6125 for current services.
A few remarks matter for planning. Visual approach slope indicator lights are available for runways 17, 35 and 26. Medium intensity runway lights are on both runways and are controlled by CTAF. The airport also has published traffic notes. Aircraft over 12,500 pounds should avoid the housing area southwest of the field below 2,000 ft. Parachute training happens in the northeast quadrant at all hours. A power plant one mile east can create thermal plumes. Avoid low altitude direct overflight. If you are departing runway 17, plan a climbing left turn as soon as safety permits. Use a wide pattern for runways 26 and 35.
