Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport is in Oakland, California. Field elevation is 9 ft MSL. The airport has four asphalt runways. The longest is 12/30 at 10,520 ft. The tower is open 24 hours. KOAK has 3 ILS approach ends. Those are runway 12, 28R and 30.

Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless current local guidance says otherwise. The airport sits under Class B airspace. Watch your speeds on arrival and departure. That matters here.

On the field, Signature Aviation carries 100LL and Jet A. KaiserAir carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Birds are reported on and near the airport. Taxiway and pavement weight limits are published in the Chart Supplement, so check those before bringing in anything heavy. Noise abatement procedures are not applicable in emergencies or when runway 12/30 is unavailable for maintenance, safety, winds, or weather. If you need current operational details, confirm them with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go.
