Southard Fld sits near Bieber, California. The field elevation is 4,163 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 04/22 is 2,980 ft of asphalt, so plan performance with the elevation in mind. This is an untowered field. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at 5,163 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. The airport is a good example of a high-desert strip where density altitude can matter on warm days. Check your takeoff and landing numbers before you go.
Published remarks note low intensity runway lights on 04/22 that are activated through the CTAF. They also note an obstruction issue near runway 22. The approach slope to the displaced threshold on 22 is 20 to 1. A 3-foot fence is reported 0 to 60 feet diagonally across the primary surface at runway 22. There are no on-field FBOs listed here. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone for current services before arrival. For clearance delivery, contact Seattle ARTCC at 253-351-3694.
