RWY 26

Brawley Muni (KBWC) sits in Brawley, California. Field elevation is -127.8 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 08/26, which is 4,166 ft long and paved asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published in the usual FAA format. The Chart Supplement remarks give 800 ft AGL for conventional aircraft and 1,200 ft AGL for jet aircraft. The field also has published lighting. Runway end identifier lights are installed on 08 and 26. Medium intensity runway lights are installed on both runways. Taxiway lights are controlled by the common traffic advisory frequency.

Imperial Flying Service is on the field. It carries 100LL. The remarks also say 100LL is available through a 24-hour cardlock system. After-hours fuel service is available on call. For clearance delivery, contact Yuma Center Radar Approach Control. First-time pilots should pay close attention to the published obstructions near both runway ends. Runway 26 has a road and fence close in. Runway 08 also has a fence near the departure end. This is a low-elevation desert field, so expect density altitude to still matter on hot days even though the airport sits below sea level.
