Jacqueline Cochran Rgnl sits in Palm Springs, California. The field elevation is -114.4 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 17/35 at 8,500 ft. Runway 12/30 is 4,995 ft. There is no control tower. Clearance delivery is handled through SoCal Approach. The published contact for clearance delivery is 800-448-3724.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway lighting is pilot controlled through CTAF. Runway end identifier lights are on 17 and 35. PAPI is published for 12, 17, 30 and 35. Runway 35 is unusable beyond 8 NM because of terrain. Soft ground is present off the pavement. Runway 17/35 also has 200 ft blast pads at both ends.
Three on-field FBOs are listed. Atlantic Aviation carries 100LL and Jet A. Desert Jet carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Thermal Aviation carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. For a first-time arrival, pay close attention to the terrain note on runway 35 and the soft ground near the edges. This is a desert field. Runway choice and departure planning matter more than they do at a flat inland airport.
