RWY 30

Wasco-Kern County Airport sits in Wasco, California. Field elevation is 312 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 12/30 is 3,380 ft long and paved with asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 1,112 ft MSL. That matters here because the field sits in the Central Valley with crop activity nearby. Published remarks say crop dusting is prohibited unless approved by the airport manager. If you are planning a first visit, call ahead and make sure you understand the local traffic picture before you arrive.

Night use needs a quick look at the remarks. Medium intensity runway lights on 12/30 are activated by CTAF. The runway 12 threshold is displaced 455 ft for night ops. The runway 30 threshold is displaced 240 ft for night ops. That leaves 2,685 ft usable at night. There are also obstructions near both runway ends, including fences, roads and a sign near runway 30. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone for current services before you go.
