Reid-Hillview of Santa Clara County (KRHV) is in San Jose, California. Field elevation is 135.4 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 3,100 ft on 13L/31R. The tower is open 0700-2200. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan with that in mind if the weather is close.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Magnetic variation is 16°. On the field, San Jose Fuel Company carries JET A, JET A PRIST and UL94. Santa Clara County carries UL94. Nice Air is also on the field. Its fuel grades are not reported in the facts provided.

A few operational notes matter here. 100LL is unavailable. The remarks also call out lighting that can be confused with runway lights on the northeast side. Make sure you are using the correct airport lighting before you land or depart. No touch-and-go landings are permitted between 2100 and 0700. There are also published departure and threshold obstruction notes on both runways, so brief the displaced thresholds and departure path before you go. If you need current noise or curfew details beyond the published remarks, check the current FAA Chart Supplement before flying in.
