Westover Fld Amador County Airport is in Jackson, California. The field elevation is 1,693 ft MSL. It has one runway, 01/19, which is 3,401 ft long and asphalt. The airport is non-towered. Use CTAF 123.075 for local traffic calls. No ILS approaches are published here.
The published pattern altitude is not given, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

The Chart Supplement also notes that the PAPI on runway 19 is unusable beyond 5 degrees left of course. Runway end identifier lights are active on both ends.
