Benton Fld (O85) sits in Redding, California at 723.2 ft MSL. It has one runway, 16/34, which is 2,420 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan with the current chart and weather in mind.
The published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field is a small, non-towered airport with a single short runway, so performance planning matters. Runway 34 is the calm-wind preferred direction. Noise abatement calls for a climb to 1,500 ft AGL before turning. Large birds are reported on and near the airport from October through April, so keep a sharp scan on departure and arrival.
Cardan Aircraft Services is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. After hours contact is 530-319-3031. The runway has PAPI on 16 and 34. Medium intensity runway lights are CTAF-activated. Halfway distance markers are also published on both sides of the runway. For clearance delivery, contact Oakland ARTCC at 510-745-3380.
