Santa Maria Public Airport, officially Captain G. Allan Hancock Field, is a medium-sized public airport serving the city of Santa Maria on California's Central Coast. It combines scheduled airline service with a busy general aviation and flight-training base, and offers an instrument landing system on its main runway, making it a useful and instructive destination for simulator pilots flying the region.
Santa Maria Public Airport, Captain G. Allan Hancock Field, lies at Santa Maria, California, at an elevation of 226 feet. The field supports scheduled airline flights as well as a significant volume of general aviation and training traffic, and its long, ILS-equipped main runway makes it a practical alternate or destination for simulator pilots operating along the Central Coast between the Los Angeles Basin and the San Francisco Bay Area.
The airport is located at approximately 34.8999 N, 120.4580 W. Approach and departure control in the area is provided by Santa Barbara Approach/Departure, and overlying en-route airspace is worked by Los Angeles Center, reflecting the airport's position within the busier airspace structure of California's Central Coast between Santa Barbara and the San Francisco Bay Area.
Santa Maria has two paved runways. The primary runway, 12/30, is 8,004 feet long with a hard surface, is lit, and is served by an ILS approach to Runway 12. The secondary runway, 02/20, is 5,189 feet long, also with a hard surface, and is available for use in different wind conditions.
Santa Barbara Approach/Departure is available on 124.15 MHz. The airport's ATIS broadcasts on 121.15 MHz.
