San Luis Obispo County Rgnl is in San Luis Obispo, California. Field elevation is 212.3 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 11/29 at 6,101 ft. Runway 07/25 is 2,500 ft.
The field is towered. The control tower is open 0600-2000. One ILS approach is published for runway 11. Pattern altitude is not published in the usual way, so use the Chart Supplement remarks. Single-engine traffic uses 991 ft AGL. Multi-engine, jet and high performance traffic uses 1,491 ft AGL.
ACI Jet is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call them at (805) 548-1350 for current service details. The remarks also note that taxiway widths are less than standard. Taxiways southwest of runway 11/29 are closed to aircraft operations. That matters for taxi planning on the ground. Runway 29 is the calm wind runway. Winter waterfowl are also a recurring factor here. Keep a sharp scan on taxi, takeoff and landing.
For a first-time arrival, the big picture is simple. Expect a controlled airport with local procedures. Expect a single ILS on 11. Runway 29 is the calm wind choice. The tower cannot see aircraft in the holding bay at the northwest end of taxiway A. Get tower approval before moving from that area during tower hours.
