POSO-KERN COUNTY (L73) is in Famoso, California. Field elevation is 635 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 16/34, which is 3,000 ft long on asphalt. It is an uncontrolled field with no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 1,435 ft MSL. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan with the current chart and your own situational awareness. The airport is closed to night operations, so do not plan an after-dark arrival or departure.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF for current service availability. Published remarks also note that crop dusting operations are prohibited unless you have prior permission from the manager. The open apron is rough and deteriorating, so taxi and parking deserve a careful look. There is also a published obstruction note for runway 16. The approach path has a 50-to-1 relationship to the displaced threshold, so brief that side of the runway before you go in. For clearance delivery, contact Los Angeles ARTCC using the number in the Chart Supplement.
