RWY 32

WEED Airport sits in Weed, California at 2,942.7 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 14/32 is 5,000 ft long with an asphalt surface. The field is not towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local guidance says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at about 3,943 ft MSL. Check the current Chart Supplement before you go. This field sits at higher elevation, so performance planning matters. Expect thinner air than you would see at lower airports.

Vali Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call them at (530) 938-2656 for current services. Published remarks say taxiway lights are only at the entrances. They also note closed ramp taxiway sections near the midfield intersection and near the south ramp exit. Medium intensity runway lights on 14/32 are activated by CTAF. For clearance delivery, contact Seattle ARTCC at 253-351-3694. If you need airport office contact details, the county office is in Yreka.

For a first-time arrival, the main things are the elevation, the single runway and the published lighting notes. Plan the arrival with current chart data in hand.
