Borrego Valley Airport sits in Borrego Springs, California. Field elevation is 522.2 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 08/26 is 5,011 ft long with asphalt pavement. It is not a towered field. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. The airport is staffed from 0800 to 1600. No ILS approaches are published here. Plan with the current chart data before you go.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local procedures or the current Chart Supplement say otherwise. The on-field FBO is Borrego Valley Airport. It carries 100LL. Self-service 100LL is available 24 hours. Medium intensity runway lights are available on 08/26. Taxiway lights are activated on CTAF by keying the microphone five times.
This is a desert airport, so expect wind shifts. The published remarks call out strong updrafts, downdrafts and turbulence in high wind conditions. Coyotes and migratory birds can also be on or near the field. Noise-sensitive areas lie west to northwest. Do not overfly the elementary school about 1 NM west of the airport. The transient ramp has wingspan limits, so check parking needs before arrival if you are in a larger aircraft. For clearance delivery, contact Los Angeles ARTCC.
