Fresno Chandler Exec (KFCH) has 1 runway. Runway 12/30 is 3,627 ft long and 75 ft wide. The surface is asphalt. The field elevation is 279.8 ft MSL. No control tower is listed, so pilots should expect non-towered self-announcement and standard traffic discipline. No ILS runway ends are published for this field.

Runway 12 has specific noise abatement limits. Practice landings, low approaches, touch-and-go operations and stop-and-go operations are not permitted on Runway 12 because of noise sensitive residential areas southeast of the airport. After takeoff, climb on runway heading until passing 800 ft MSL. A best rate-of-climb initial climb is recommended for safety and noise abatement. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before flight for the latest airport remarks.

Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston aircraft, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local procedures or ATC say otherwise. At KFCH that works out to about 1,280 ft MSL based on the 279.8 ft field elevation. Runway 12 has right traffic. That is the published exception. No tower is listed, so pilots should self-sequence and make clear position reports. Keep the noise abatement note in mind. Runway 12 departures should climb on runway heading until passing 800 ft MSL, then continue the climb as appropriate.

Every end, one page

Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
