Mountain Valley Airport (L94) sits in Tehachapi, California at 4,220 ft MSL. This is a non-towered field with CTAF and UNICOM both on 123.0. No ILS approaches are published. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the current FAA Chart Supplement and local briefing material before you go. The field has no listed on-field FBOs, so plan to verify services directly with the airport operator or by phone before arrival.

The published remarks matter here. Gliders approach from the north using runway 9L/27R. Powered aircraft approach from the south using runway 9R/27L. Runway 09L/27R is restricted to sailplane use. The paved and dirt surfaces are mixed on both runway ends. The 09L end has the first 1,200 feet by 36 feet of dirt. The 27R end has the remaining 3,690 feet of asphalt with varying widths. The 09R end also starts with 1,200 feet of dirt. The 27L end has 3,690 feet of asphalt that is 36 feet wide. This is a high-elevation field in the Tehachapi area, so performance planning matters. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any operational notes before flying in.
