KSNA is in Santa Ana, California. Field elevation is 55.9 ft MSL. The airport has 2 asphalt runways. The longest is runway 02L/20R at 5,700 ft. The tower is open daily from 0615 to 2300. When the tower is closed, runway 02R/20L is not available. That matters if you are planning a late arrival or an early departure.
Two ILS approaches are published here. They serve runway ends 20R and 20X. SOCAL handles the Class C airspace and approach control. Pattern altitude is published by runway and aircraft type. Runway 02L/20R uses 1,000 ft AGL for small aircraft. Turbine aircraft over 12,500 lb use 1,500 ft AGL. Runway 02R/20L uses 800 ft AGL for small single-engine aircraft. Twins use 1,000 ft AGL.
On field FBOs are Clay Lacy Aviation, ACI Jet - Orange County South and ACI Jet - Orange County North. They carry 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Noise abatement is active. The airport also has specific runway departure and arrival angles to reduce overflight of the parallel runway. If you are new to KSNA, brief those procedures before taxi. Keep the airport noise office number handy if you need the current local rules. The field also has ramp and weight limits that matter for larger aircraft.
