RWY 24

Yucca Valley Airport (L22) sits in Yucca Valley, California at 3,224 ft MSL. It has one runway, 06/24, which is 4,363 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. No ILS approaches are published here.

The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless current local guidance says otherwise. Runway 06 is the calm wind runway. Medium intensity runway lights on 06/24 are pilot-activated through the CTAF. Published noise abatement procedures are in effect. Contact the airport manager at 760-401-0816 before you go if you need the local details.

This is a high-elevation desert field, so expect density altitude to matter on warm days. The published remarks also call out runway 06 and runway 24 obstruction notes near the displaced thresholds. Parking or runups within 125 feet of the runway centerline are not allowed. Runups for runway 24 must be done on the ramp southeast of the runway 24 threshold. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so verify services with the airport operator or call the field directly before arrival. For clearance delivery, contact SoCal Approach at 800-448-3724.
