California City Muni sits in California City, California. Field elevation is 2,453.5 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 06/24 is 6,027 ft of asphalt, which gives light aircraft plenty of room and gives bigger singles a workable strip in good conditions. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. Joshua Approach uses 133.65 and 348.7. Clearance delivery is handled through Joshua Approach at 661-277-3843.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Published remarks say this field is VFR only. Night operations are closed until further notice. Runway lighting is also out of service until further notice. The PAPI on runway 24 is out of service. The runway end identifier lights on runway 24 are out of service too. There is also a precision approach path indicator east wing adjacent to runway 06/24 from 0700 to 1500 daily, so plan your visual work with that in mind.
The on-field FBO is California City Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. If you are planning a first stop here, treat it as a daytime VFR field and verify current status before departure. The lighting outages matter here, especially after sunset or if you are arriving close to dusk.
