Mefford Field sits in Tulare, California. Field elevation is 265.3 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 13/31 is 3,901 ft of asphalt. There is no control tower. Fresno Approach handles clearance delivery. The published CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7.
No ILS approaches are published here. The runway lights on 13/31 are activated by CTAF. The PAPI for runway 13 operates continuously. The visual glide slope indicator for runway 13 is unusable beyond 7 degrees right of centerline, so keep that in mind on final. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless current local guidance says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at 1,265.3 ft MSL.
Valley Air Crafts is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. For a first visit, plan for a non-towered airport with Fresno Approach support on the clearance side. The field is in the Central Valley, so density altitude can still matter on warm days. Check the current Chart Supplement for any local procedures before you go. The airport has also been surveyed by the National Geodetic Survey.
