Nut Tree Airport sits in Vacaville, California. Field elevation is 116.6 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 02/20 is 4,700 ft asphalt, which is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. Clearance delivery is handled through Travis Approach, with the published contact number in the Chart Supplement. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard light piston pattern reference unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. Taxiway lighting is on the parallel taxiway only. After 2200, medium intensity runway lights and the parallel taxiway lights come on for runway 02/20. PAPI and REIL for runways 02 and 20 are controlled by CTAF. Runway 02 is the calm wind runway. For runway 20, remain west of Interstate Highway because of the noise sensitive area west of the airport.
Nut Tree Airport has one on-field FBO, Nut Tree Airport. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Pilots should use caution near the fuel island. Follow the yellow taxi lines, directional arrows and posted signs. The field also has two gyroplanes, so expect mixed traffic. This is a low-elevation airport. The nearby highway, noise-sensitive area and CTAF-controlled lighting make a careful arrival brief worthwhile.
