Shoshone Airport sits in Shoshone, California. Field elevation is 1,568 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 15/33, which is 2,380 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 2,368 ft MSL.
No ILS approaches are published here. That matters if you are planning an IFR arrival. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for the latest approach and airport notes before you go. The published remarks also call out terrain and obstacle issues. There are Part 77 mountains north of the airport. There is also a power line east of the runway. A hill sits near the southeast end of the runway. Runway 15 has a road close to the threshold. Runway 33 has a berm close to the threshold. Runway edge lights are on short non-frangible posts.
Pilot controlled lighting is out of service. For an evening lighting turn-on before night use, the published remarks direct pilots to contact Steve Loven at Bishop Airport during weekday business hours. Runway 15/33 is closed to helicopters. No on-field FBOs are listed, so contact the airport operator directly before arrival or call the field on CTAF for current service options. For clearance delivery, the remarks list Los Angeles ARTCC. This is a small desert field, so plan for terrain, limited runway length and close-in obstacles.
