Jack Mc Namara Field Airport, also identified as Del Norte County Airport, serves Crescent City on California's far northern coast with a mix of general aviation and scheduled airline traffic. It offers an ILS-equipped runway and automated weather reporting, making it a useful and instructive stop for simulator pilots flying the rugged Northern California coastline.
Jack Mc Namara Field, sometimes listed as Del Norte County Airport, is a publicly used airfield at Crescent City in far northern California. It supports scheduled airline service alongside general aviation traffic, and its instrument-equipped runway gives simulator pilots a good platform for practising an ILS approach in a remote coastal setting.
The airfield sits at an elevation of 52 feet at coordinates 41.7802, -124.237, close to Crescent City. Radio work is handled through Oakland Radio (122.3 MHz) for flight service and Seattle Center (124.85 MHz) for radar and en-route services, indicating that the field lies within airspace that is largely uncontrolled at the surface, with pilots expected to self-announce on the common frequency.
The airfield has two physical runways. Runway 12/30 is 5020 feet long with a hard surface, lit, and equipped with an ILS on the runway 12 end. Runway 18/36 is a hard-surfaced, lit runway of approximately 4845 to 5007 feet in length depending on the direction flown.
Weather is available from the automated ASOS on 119.925 MHz. The common traffic advisory frequency and UNICOM are both on 122.8 MHz. Oakland Radio can be reached on 122.3 MHz, and Seattle Center provides centre services on 124.85 MHz. An ILS approach is published to runway 12.
With no control tower reflected in the frequency data, pilots should monitor and make position calls on the CTAF of 122.8 MHz, coordinating with UNICOM on the same frequency for airfield information. The ASOS on 119.925 MHz gives current weather for planning arrivals and departures.
The field supports scheduled airline operations as well as general aviation movements, with automated weather via ASOS and UNICOM communications on 122.8 MHz. The ILS approach to runway 12 remains available for instrument operations.
