[edit] Facilities

Palo Alto Airport of Santa Clara County covers 102 acres and has one runway:

  • Runway 13/31: 2,443 x 70 ft. (745 x 21 m), Surface: Asphalt

First time pilots should familiarize themselves with the complex SF Bay Area airspace, especially the overlying SFO Class B and the abutting SJC Class C airspace. Landing pilots should also watch out for bird and jack-rabbit activity.

Facilities at this busy towered airport include multiple aircraft repair shops and a staffed terminal. An on-airport car rental facility is not available. However, the airport is very conveniently located within one-half mile of Highway 101.

Fifteen miles of hiking and biking trails, affording multiple opportunities for bird-watching, form part of the adjacent 1940-acre Palo Alto Baylands Nature Preserve[1]. The airport is also adjacent to a public golf course[2]. Walkable dining options include the popular Ming's Restaurant[3].
