Nevada County Airport sits in Grass Valley, California. The field elevation is 3,157.7 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 07/25 is 4,657 ft long and paved. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport is served by Nevada County Airport on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call (530) 273-3374 for current fuel and ramp details.
The runway slopes 1.9 percent downhill to the west. Takeoffs on Runway 07 are not recommended because of rising terrain. That matters here because the airport sits in the foothills at a higher elevation. Expect density altitude to be a real factor on warm days. CalFire tanker traffic can also affect the pattern from May through October. Tankers may depart Runway 25 and land Runway 07 regardless of wind. Helicopters make straight-in approaches and departures. For clearance delivery, contact NorCal Approach. Use the current Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying in.
