KMHV is Mojave Air & Space Port / Rutan Field in Mojave, California. The field elevation is 2,801.3 ft MSL. It has three asphalt runways. The longest is 12,503 ft on 12/30. The airport has a control tower. Tower hours are 0700-1700 Monday through Friday. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published as a single value. Use the published category-specific traffic pattern altitudes. Category A and B aircraft use 3,801 ft MSL. Category C and D aircraft use 4,301 ft MSL. Helicopters use 3,301 ft MSL and use south entry and departure. That matters here because the field sits high. The area has rapidly rising terrain and wind turbines west to northwest of the airport. Runway 8 has a published arrival restriction for Category C and D aircraft and all turbojets. Taxiway F is closed west of Taxiway A.
The on-field FBO is Mojave Air & Space Port at Rutan Field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Fuel is available from 0700 to 1700 Monday through Saturday. For other times, contact airport operations on CTAF or call the field directly. Runway 12 and 30 lighting includes REIL and high intensity lighting. Runway 08/26 and 04/22 have medium intensity runway lighting. Be alert for high speed activity in the airport area.
