Los Banos Muni Airport (KLSN) sits in Los Banos, California. Field elevation is 121.4 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 14/32, which is 3,801 ft long and paved asphalt. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 921.4 ft MSL.

No ILS approaches are published here. For clearance delivery, contact NorCal Approach at 916-361-0516. The airport uses CTAF 122.8, which is also the UNICOM frequency. The on-field FBO is Los Banos Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Twenty-four hour automated fuel is available with a major credit card. Call the listed number after hours for emergency full service.

This field has some operational items worth planning for. The runway remarks note widespread cracking and surface wear on 14/32, so expect a rougher surface than a newer strip. Medium intensity runway lights are preset to low intensity until 2400. Use CTAF to increase intensity and to activate the runway end identifier lights and PAPI. Avoid overflight of houses south of the airport. Do not plan departures over housing areas to the east. The field is in the Central Valley, so density altitude can still matter on warm days even at low elevation. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any current restrictions before you go.
