Visalia Muni is in Visalia, California. The field elevation is 292.5 ft MSL. It has one runway, 12/30, which is 6,562 ft long with asphalt pavement. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 123.05 for local traffic and UNICOM on the same frequency if needed. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Runway 30 has an ILS approach. The published lighting setup is useful for night work. MALSR is on runway 30. REIL is available for runway 12. PAPI is available for both runway ends. High intensity runway lighting is available on 12/30. Runway 30 is the calm wind runway. There is also a published note that no downwind turns are permitted when departing runway 12 until reaching traffic pattern altitude. The runway 12 approach slope also has a 20 to 1 obstruction note to the displaced threshold, so brief that side carefully before arrival.
Visalia Municipal Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Self-serve 100LL and self-serve Jet A are both available 24 hours. The airport also notes a helipad on the parallel taxiway with hover taxi to the adjacent concrete pad. Maximum weight there is 20,000 pounds. For any current operating detail that is not published here, check the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator directly.
