San Diego Intl sits in San Diego, California. Field elevation is 16.8 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 09/27, which is 9,401 ft long. The tower is open 24 hours. Two ILS approaches are published, one for runway 09 and one for runway 27. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Signature Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. The airport has several operational notes that matter on a first visit. Departures are prohibited from 2330 to 0630. A 30-minute prior permission requirement is also in effect from 0830 to 1230 Zulu for all landings and departures while pavement evaluation is underway on runway 09/27. Ultralights are prohibited. Terrain and buildings up to 500 ft MSL sit north and east within 1.5 miles, so keep that in mind on arrival and departure planning.
Taxi discipline matters here. Follow lead-in lines until the nose wheel is in the non-movement area of the alley. Taxilane A is limited to aircraft with wingspans of 135 ft or less. Aircraft exiting runway 09 at taxiway D and turning right onto Bravo are limited to a 136 ft wingspan. There is also a light pole near the runway 27 end. Check the current Chart Supplement for any additional noise or curfew details before flying in.
