Columbia Airport (O22) sits in Columbia, California. The field elevation is 2,120.7 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 17/35 at 4,673 ft. There is no control tower. NORCAL Approach handles the area on 125.1 and 363.2. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude for runway 11/29 is 800 ft AGL. A standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern is used for light piston traffic where no other pattern altitude is published. Bald Eagle Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call (209) 533-4616 for current service details.
This is a high-elevation airport with terrain in the area, so density altitude and wind deserve attention. The Chart Supplement notes variable wind at the midpoint of runway 17/35 due to terrain and wind flow patterns. It also asks pilots to avoid overflight of Columbia State Park northeast of the airport and Highway 49 Bridge 5 NM southwest of the field. CalFire air tanker activity can also affect traffic during fire season. Runway 11 departures are prohibited because of conflict with the main runway. Jet aircraft are requested to use runway 35 for landing and runway 17 for departure when conditions allow.
