Zamperini Field sits in Torrance, California. Field elevation is 103.2 ft MSL. The airport has 2 runways. The longest is 11L/29R at 5,001 ft. The tower is open 0700 to 2000. SoCal Approach handles clearance delivery when the tower is closed. One ILS is published for runway 29R.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless ATC or the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at about 1,103 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The airport sits in a noise-sensitive area in all quadrants. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any published noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field. The field also has bird activity in and around the airport. Keep your scan active on arrival and departure.
Three on-field FBOs are listed. Great American Aviation, Torrance Flite Park and South Bay Aviation all carry 100LL. Runway 11R/29L is closed from 2000 to 0700. No touch-and-go or stop-and-go operations are permitted. Airport departures are also restricted overnight on weekdays and weekends. Taxi carefully at Hotel and Charlie. Hold between the set of hold bars for the runway 11R/29L approach zone. If you are new to KTOA, plan for busy local traffic, noise sensitivity and the published runway use limits before you roll.
