No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is 986 ft AGL, which is 1,000 ft MSL. The field sits in a very noise-sensitive coastal area. For runway 29 departures, pilots are required to hold runway heading until crossing the shoreline. That matters here. Ultralight activity is on and near the airport. Kites may also be flown along the beach about one half mile west of the runway.

ACI Jet - Oceano is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL. Unspecified areas are soft and unusable. Taxilanes are very narrow near buildings and parked aircraft, so taxi slowly and keep a close eye on wing clearance. Taxiway lights are at exit only. The beacon runs from dusk to dawn. If you need clearance delivery, contact Los Angeles ARTCC at 661-575-2079. For a first visit, plan for a busy low-level environment and verify current airport details with the airport operator or the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
