Falcon Field sits in Mesa, Arizona. The field elevation is 1,394 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 5,100 ft on 04R/22L. The tower is open May 15 through Aug 15 from 0530 to 2100 Zulu. From Aug 16 through May 14 it is open from 0600 to 2100 Zulu. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is 1,308 ft AGL. That is 2,702 ft MSL. That matters here because the field sits in busy training airspace with fixed-wing and rotorcraft activity. Birds and wildlife are also reported on and near the airport. Terrain rises to the northeast. There is also an unlighted mountain about 5 miles east.
Cunningham Aviation is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL, JET A and JET A PRIST. Heliponents is also on the field. It carries JET A PRIST. Self-serve aviation fuel is available. Noise abatement procedures are in effect. Quiet hours run from 0500 to 1230 Zulu. Runways 04L and 04R are preferred. Touch-and-go landings are not authorized during that quiet period. Climb at best rate until reaching 2,400 ft MSL. Keep the pattern 3/4 mile from the runway end. If you are arriving after tower hours, check the current Chart Supplement for the runway and lighting details that apply when the tower is closed.
