RWY 28L

Hayward Executive is in Hayward, California, on the east side of the Bay. Field elevation is 52.1 ft MSL. The airport has 2 asphalt runways. The longest is 10R/28L at 5,694 ft. The other runway is 10L/28R at 3,108 ft. The tower is open 0700-2100.

There is 1 ILS approach. It serves runway 28L. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,052 ft MSL based on the field elevation.

Signature Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. APP Jet Center is also on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A, Jet A Prist and UL94. The airport sits in a busy Bay Area environment, so expect traffic flow discipline to matter. Published remarks also call out bird activity near shoreline and creek areas. There is a 155-foot exhaust stack southwest of the field. Do not overfly that energy complex below 1,000 ft MSL. When the tower is closed, runway 10L/28R is closed. That matters for late arrivals and early departures.
