RWY 27

Mammoth Yosemite Airport sits in Mammoth Lakes, California. The field elevation is 7,134.8 ft MSL. It has one runway, 09/27, which is 7,000 ft long. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is 872 ft AGL, which is 8,006.8 ft MSL. Hot Creek Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. 100LL is available 24 hours with a card lock system. That matters here because the airport sits high in the mountains. Night flying is not recommended without local terrain knowledge. The published remarks also call out terrain near both runway ends. There is a ridge near the approach end of runway 09. Runway 27 has a ridge north of the centerline with hazard beacons. There is also a marked pole west of the approach end.

Noise abatement is specific. Arrivals from the south or departures to the south should stay east of Highway 395. Landing fees apply. The airport also restricts some charter, business jet and scheduled commercial operations unless prior permission is obtained from the airport manager. For a first trip, review the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. The field is a mountain airport with real terrain and lighting considerations.
