RWY 26

Mariposa-Yosemite Airport sits in Mariposa, California at 2,254.2 ft MSL. It has one runway, 08/26, which is 3,305 ft long. The field is non-towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

The on-field FBO is Mariposa-Yosemite Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Fuel is available 24 hours with credit card. That is useful here because the airport sits in mountain country. Published remarks also note mountains north of runway 08/26. Runway 08 has terrain dropping away on both sides of the taxiway. Birds are present on and near the airport. The runway also has medium intensity lights and a PAPI for both ends. Clearance delivery is handled through Oakland Center. Expect to verify the current procedure before departure.

For a first-time arrival, the big items are terrain, runway condition and density altitude. The pavement has reported cracks and loose debris along the full length of 08/26. Check the current Chart Supplement and the airport operator before you go. A mountain airport at this elevation can change performance fast.
