RWY 29R

Stockton Metro Airport sits in Stockton, California. Field elevation is 32.6 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 11L/29R at 10,245 ft. The control tower is open daily from 0700 to 2100. One ILS is published for runway 29R.

Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. Atlantic Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Fuel and service are available from 0500 to 2100. Call ahead after hours.

This is a busy field with several operational limits to keep in mind. Tower visibility is limited over parts of taxiway B, the southeast half of the terminal apron and the transient parking apron. Taxiway F is restricted to aircraft with wingspan under 118 ft. Avoid overflying San Joaquin General Hospital and the city of Manteca. The airport also has restrictions for large passenger operations. Turbojet touch-and-go or low approach work overnight is also restricted. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before flying in if you need any of those details. The field sits close to sea level, so density altitude is usually not the main issue. Traffic flow, runway selection and local restrictions matter more here.
