French Valley Airport (F70) sits in Murrieta/Temecula, California. Field elevation is 1,349.5 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 18/36, at 6,000 ft. It is not towered. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. Runway 18/36 has runway end identifier lights, PAPI and medium intensity runway lights. Taxiway lights are controlled by CTAF. The field uses CTAF 122.8 and UNICOM 122.8. For clearance delivery, contact March Approach. If March Approach is closed, contact SoCal Approach.
Two on-field FBOs are listed. French Valley Hangars carries 100LL. The Jet Center carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Self-serve 100LL is available. For fuel after hours, use the published phone number in the Chart Supplement or call the field directly.
The published remarks matter here. Departures should avoid nearby noise sensitive areas. Best rate of climb is recommended to pattern altitude before leaving the pattern. Use runway 18 when winds are calm. For a first-time arrival, plan for a non-towered field with busy local traffic, mountain-adjacent terrain and a field elevation that can affect takeoff and climb performance.
