Willows/Glenn County Airport sits in Willows, California. Field elevation is 141.2 ft MSL. The airport has 2 asphalt runways. The longest is runway 16/34 at 4,125 ft. It is an untowered field, so plan to self-announce on CTAF 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Glenn County Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL. Fuel is available 24 hours through a card lock. Runway 16/34 has medium intensity runway lights. Runway 34 also has a visual approach slope indicator on CTAF 122.8.

For clearance delivery, Oakland ARTCC handles it by phone. That matters if you are filing IFR into or out of the field. The airport sits in the Central Valley, so expect routine valley flying conditions rather than mountain terrain, but always check density altitude on warm days. If you need current operational details, confirm them with the airport operator or the FBO directly before departure.
