Jacumba Airport (L78) sits in Jacumba, California near the international boundary in far southeastern California. Field elevation is 2,844 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 07/25, which is 2,562 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light aircraft pattern at 3,844 ft MSL. The field has no on-field FBOs listed, so plan on self-sufficiency and verify services before you go. Published remarks call out rapidly rising terrain in all quadrants. They also note a 480-foot hill one mile east of the airport, so wind and performance matter here. The FAA remarks recommend landing runway 07 and departing runway 25 when wind allows. Runway 07/25 is closed from sunset to sunrise and is not lighted.
First-time pilots should also plan for glider activity on weekends, wildlife on and near the airport and noise abatement that avoids overflying the residential area west of the field. The international boundary is south of runway 25. For vehicle access, call the number in the Chart Supplement before arrival. For current operating details, check the FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator directly.
