RWY 21

Hesperia Airport sits in Hesperia, California at 3,390 ft MSL. It has one runway, 03/21, which is 3,910 ft long and paved. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston traffic, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless current local guidance says otherwise. The airport uses runway lighting from dusk to dawn. Low intensity runway lights on 03/21 are activated via CTAF.

This field has no on-field FBOs listed, so verify services with the airport operator or by calling the field before arrival. Published remarks also matter here. Public roads cross the runway and taxiway in multiple spots. The runway surface has substantial cracks and raveling. Runway 21 has a slight uphill grade, with rising terrain to the south. Use runway 21 when winds are calm. Clearance delivery is handled through Joshua Approach at 661-277-3843.

The runway ends have close-in obstructions. That makes a stabilized approach important, especially with the field elevation and surrounding terrain. Check the current Chart Supplement before you go for any updates on local procedures or restrictions.
