RWY 27

Ramona Airport sits in Ramona, California. The field elevation is 1,394.6 ft MSL. It has one runway, 09/27, which is 5,001 ft long. The airport is towered from 0800 to 2000. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

The runway is aligned 09/27 with magnetic headings of 99° and 279°. Runway 27 is the calm wind runway. Runway 09 is unusable beyond 3.0 NM because of terrain. That matters here. The area has terrain. It also has year-round bird activity. Occasional coyotes have been reported near the runway and taxiway. Air tankers are in the vicinity year-round and often fly nonstandard pattern entries, so keep your scan sharp.

Two on-field FBOs are listed. Pacific Executive Aviation carries 100LL and Jet A. Chuck Hall Aviation carries 100LL and Jet A. The airport also has lighting details worth knowing. Runway end identifier lights are on runway 27. Medium intensity runway lights are on 09/27. Taxiway lights are controlled by CTAF. PAPI is available on both runway ends and operates 24 hours. Fire fighting aircraft are on and near the airport, so expect unusual traffic when that activity is active.
