RWY 34

Bryant Fld is in Bridgeport, California. It sits at 6,471.7 ft MSL in mountainous terrain. The field has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 3,854 ft asphalt, which is the longest runway on the airport. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

Pattern altitude is 700 ft AGL. That puts the traffic pattern at 7,171.7 ft MSL. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan with the current charted procedures and the terrain in mind. The airport is high elevation. That matters for takeoff roll, climb performance and density altitude. The remarks also call out trees east of the runway centerline. They also mention vehicles on the highway east of runway 16. A hillside sits near both ends. The runway centerline markings are partly obscured by crack fill on both runway directions.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator directly before you go if you need fuel, services, or local operating details. The field also has medium intensity runway lights on runway 16/34, with activation on frequency 122.8. Birds tend to gather on the north end of the runway, so keep a sharp scan on rollout and takeoff.
