Twentynine Palms Airport (KTNP) sits in Twentynine Palms, California. Field elevation is 1,888 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 08/26 at 5,531 ft. There is no control tower, so plan for self-announce traffic on CTAF 122.8. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless local procedures say otherwise.

No ILS approaches are published here. That matters if you are planning a weather arrival. Check the current charted procedures before you go. The field has one on-field FBO, Twentynine Palms Airport. It carries 100LL. 100LL fuel is available 24 hours. Automated UNICOM is available. That helps when the field is quiet.

A few operational items stand out. Power lines are present near runway 17. There is also a 2-foot terrain obstruction 200 feet from the threshold of runway 35. Runway lights are medium intensity on both runways. REILs are on runways 08 and 26. They are controlled by CTAF. Be alert for aerobatic activity south of runway 17/35. For a first visit, the main things are the desert setting, the elevation and the lack of published ILS support. Expect to brief your arrival and departure carefully.
