RWY 32

MARCH ARB is in Riverside, California. The field elevation is 1,536 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 14/32 at 13,302 ft. The airport is towered 24 hours a day. One ILS approach is published for runway 32.

For pattern work, the published traffic pattern is rectangular at 3,000 ft MSL. The overhead pattern is at 3,500 ft MSL. That matters here because the field sits in the Inland Empire with busy military and civil activity. Transient aircraft also need to plan ahead. Prior coordination is required. 24 hour prior notice or prior permission is required for transient aircraft. Transient aircraft are not permitted to practice approaches from 2100 to 0700.

Million Air Riverside is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Full service fuel is available there. Self-serve fuel is not available. The published remarks also note that transportation is limited. For military or special-use operations, several runway and apron restrictions apply. Helipad and runway 12/30 are restricted to helicopters only. Runway 14/32 is restricted for V-22 operations. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement and contact the airport operator before arrival if your flight is anything other than a routine transient stop.
