Sierraville Dearwater Airport sits in Sierraville, California. The field elevation is 4,989.7 ft MSL. It has one runway, 03/21, which is 3,093 ft long and surfaced with asphalt-dirt. The airport is non-towered. CTAF is 122.9. Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 5,789.7 ft MSL.
No ILS approaches are published here. That matters if you are planning an IFR arrival. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for the latest approach data and any airport remarks before you go. Published remarks note that runway 03/21 pavement is crumbling in areas and cracking. Ultralight activity also occurs on and near the airport, so keep a sharp scan in the pattern and on final.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF for current service availability. The airport manager is the Sierra County Public Works Director. Sierra County Public Works Department in Downieville can also handle airport management questions. For clearance delivery, contact Oakland ARTCC at 510-745-3380. With the field sitting near 5,000 ft MSL, expect mountain-field performance planning to matter on warm days. Use the runway and density altitude picture you get on the day of flight, then make your go or no-go call with margin.
