Gillespie Field sits in San Diego County near El Cajon, California. Field elevation is 387.5 ft MSL. The airport has 3 asphalt runways. The longest is 5,342 ft on 09L/27R. The tower is open 0700 to 2100. One ILS approach is published for runway 27R. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so verify the current Chart Supplement before you fly. For light piston traffic, standard pattern altitude is often 1,000 ft AGL. Use the published value if it differs.
This is a busy field with noise abatement in effect. Noise sensitive areas are in all quadrants. Touch-and-go and jet departures are strongly discouraged between 2200 and 0700. Runway 17 is the preferred noise abatement departure runway when the tower is closed. The west transient ramp and part of taxiway Delta between D2 and the west transient ramp are not visible from the tower, so taxi with care. Coyotes and birds are also reported in the area.
On the field, Golden State Aviation, Circle Air Group and High Performance Aircraft are listed. Golden State Aviation and Circle Air Group carry 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. High Performance Aircraft carries Jet A and Jet A Prist. 100LL self-service is available 24 hours. Runway 27R deserves extra attention. The approach is closely aligned with terrain, so localizer and DME use is highly recommended.
