Bakersfield Muni is in Bakersfield, California. The field elevation is 378.3 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 4,000 ft of asphalt, so this is a short-field airport by airline standards but workable for light aircraft and many business aircraft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. Published approach support does not include an ILS, so plan with the current charted procedures and verify weather minimums before you go.
Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 1,178.3 ft MSL. The airport uses 14° magnetic variation, so cross-check headings carefully when you brief the runway. Published remarks note runway end identifier lights on both ends of 16/34. The medium intensity runway lights are activated by CTAF. The PAPI on runway 34 operates continuously. The runway lights can also be turned on with three clicks on CTAF. There is a 150-foot paved stopway at each end of runway 16/34.
BEST Aviation is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL and JET A. Full service is available by fueling truck. For clearance delivery, contact Los Angeles ARTCC at the published number before departure if you need it. Pilots should also note the 100-foot pole line half a mile south of the airport.
