Furnace Creek Airport (L06) sits in Death Valley National Park in California. The field elevation is -210 ft MSL. It has one runway, 15/33, which is 3,065 ft long. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport is 1 statute mile southwest of Park Headquarters. The published remarks matter here. Runway 15/33 has heaving pavement and an extremely rough surface. There is up to 4 inch salt heave around cracks. That can damage aircraft with wheel fairings or cause a tire blowout. Safety areas beside the runway are closed. Stay on paved surfaces only. There is also a ditch 145 feet right of runway 33.
No on-field FBOs are listed. No tiedown ropes or chains are available. The airport is closed to night operations. The airport manager is a law enforcement park ranger. For emergencies, contact park dispatch at 760-786-2330. California state permit has been suspended until further notice. For clearance delivery, if you cannot reach Flight Service Station, contact Los Angeles ARTCC at 661-575-2079. This is a place to plan carefully before arrival. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any updates before you go.
