Rogers Field sits in Chester, California at 4,534.4 ft MSL. It has one runway, 16/34, which is 5,020 ft of asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
The on-field FBO is Rogers Field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. The FBO phone is (530) 258-3616. Published remarks note that the airport was established before 15 May 1959. Summer traffic can include several fire bombers. That matters if you are arriving during fire season.
Runway lights on 16/34 are medium intensity and are activated by CTAF. The precision approach path indicators on both ends are also controlled by CTAF. There are two 40-foot concrete helipads on the field for US Forest Service use. For clearance delivery, contact Oakland ARTCC at 510-745-3380.
At this elevation, performance planning matters. Expect high-density-altitude effects on takeoff and climb. Chester is in a mountain setting, so review terrain, density altitude and the current Chart Supplement before departure. If you need noise or curfew details, verify them with the current Chart Supplement or the airport operator.
