Alturas Muni sits in Alturas, California. The field elevation is 4,378.3 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 4,228 ft on runway 13/31. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless current local guidance says otherwise. That puts the pattern around 5,378 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The airport is operated by the City of Alturas. Alturas Municipal Airport is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL and JET A. Call the FBO directly at (530) 233-5125 for current service details.
This is a high-elevation airport, so performance planning matters. Deer are reported on and near the airport. Wildlife refuges to the southwest, south and southeast can mean bird activity from October through April. Runway 03 has a published note against takeoff to the northeast except in adverse wind conditions. Arrivals to runway 21 are discouraged because of a school on the approach. Runway 13 and runway 21 also have published approach clearance notes from displaced thresholds. Check the current Chart Supplement before you go.
