Desert Aire Rgnl is in Mattawa, Washington. Field elevation is 586 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 10/28 is 3,665 ft asphalt, which is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. Clearance delivery goes through Spokane Approach when available. If approach is closed, contact Seattle ARTCC. Runway lights on 10/28 are pilot controlled. The beacon also uses CTAF clicks. There is a local weather advisory on CTAF as well.
Plan for the runway environment before you arrive. Long final and extended base to runway 28 are not advised because of low flying fast military jets nearby. No touch-and-go landings are allowed before 0800. Pavement is rated for 18,000 pounds aircraft. Transient parking is on the southeast and southwest ends of the airport. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current services before you go.
