Tehachapi Muni sits in Tehachapi, California at 4,001.1 ft MSL. It has one runway, 11/29, which is 4,040 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport is in a mountain setting. There is a lighted obstruction and mountain 1 mile west of the field at 4,279 ft MSL. Runway 29 is also limited beyond 4 NM because of terrain. That matters on arrival and departure planning.
The on-field FBO is Tehachapi Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Fuel is available 24 hours with credit card. High intensity runway lights on 11/29 are activated by CTAF. The published gross weight pavement strength for 11/29 is 25,000 pounds. For clearance delivery, contact Los Angeles ARTCC. If you need the office or after-hours line, use the airport numbers in the Chart Supplement or call the airport operator directly. This is a high-elevation field, so expect density altitude to be a real factor on warm days.
