Long Beach (Daugherty Fld) sits in Long Beach, California. Field elevation is 60.4 ft MSL. The airport has 3 asphalt runways. The longest is runway 12/30 at 10,000 ft. The tower is open daily from 0615 to 2345. One ILS is published for runway 30.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field sits in a busy coastal metro area. Expect dense traffic. Stay sharp on runway assignment. Runway 12/30 also carries published weight limits tied to tunnel structure concerns under Lakewood Boulevard and Spring Street. That matters for heavier aircraft. The airport also has published restrictions for some helicopter operations on runway 08L/26R. Airships are also moored in the infield. They may be operating nearby.
Signature Aviation is on the field and carries 100LL, Jet A and UL94. Atlantic Aviation is on the field and carries 100LL and Jet A. If you are planning a first stop here, review the current Chart Supplement for any noise or operating notes before arrival. The published remarks also include a special downwind restriction for runway 26L. That is worth briefing before you taxi out.
