RWY 22L

Sacramento Mather Airport sits in Sacramento, California. Field elevation is 98.3 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 11,301 ft on 04R/22L. The other runway is 6,081 ft on 04L/22R. The control tower is open daily from 0500 to 2100.

There is one ILS approach. It serves runway 22L. Pattern altitude for piston aircraft is 1,000 ft AGL. That puts the published piston pattern at 1,098.3 ft MSL. Turbine traffic uses 1,800 ft AGL.

On the field, Mather Jet Center carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Modern Aviation also carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. For a first-time arrival, pay attention to the noise-sensitive neighborhoods north and east of the 22L final. Turbojet nighttime noise abatement procedures are in effect from 2200 to 0700. Be alert for large transport traffic and high-performance military T-38 jets. When the tower is closed, clearance delivery goes through NorCal Approach. Runway 04L/22R has decommissioned medium intensity runway lighting. Plan your night work around 04R/22L if you need lighting.
