RWY 06

Fullerton Muni sits in Fullerton, California. Field elevation is 96 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 06/24 and it is 3,121 ft long. The tower is open from 0700 to 2100. When the tower is closed, use the published lighting procedures and contact SoCal Approach for clearance delivery. The field has one ILS approach. It serves runway 24.

Pattern altitude is 1,004 ft AGL, which is 1,100 ft MSL. That matters here because the airport sits in a busy Southern California traffic flow with close-in noise concerns. For noise abatement, runway 06 is preferred for takeoff. The published departure path calls for following the railroad tracks east with no turns below 1,000 ft AGL. For runway 24 departures, climb to 700 ft AGL before turning. There is also a lighted tower about 1.75 miles west of the airport on a 285 degree bearing from the field. Taxiway A has some areas that are not visible from the tower. Keep your head on a swivel on the ground.

General Aviation Company is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. The runway ends have displaced threshold-related obstacle notes. Brief your landing and departure distances carefully before you go.
