Jack Mc Namara Fld sits in Crescent City, California near the coast at 60.7 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 12/30 at 5,002 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. Runway 12 has an ILS and the published lighting setup includes MALSR on 12. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston aircraft unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Cal-Ore Life Flight is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call ahead at (707) 465-3804 if you need current FBO details. The airport has some operational points that matter on a first visit. There are ridgelines of shifting sand dunes near the approach end of runway 18. They sit 30 to 50 ft above ground level and are about 1,000 ft from the threshold. Birds and deer are also reported on and near the airport. The field also has published weight limits for transient and FBO ramps. Check those before arrival if you are bringing a heavier aircraft. The airport sits in a coastal environment, so expect changing weather and keep an eye on runway choice and approach setup.
