Riverside Municipal Airport (IATA: RAL, ICAO: KRAL, FAA LID: RAL), also known as Riverside Airport (and formerly as Riverside Arlington Airport), is a public airport located four miles (6 km) southwest of the central business district of Riverside, the county seat of Riverside County, California, United States.[1] The airport is located in the Inland Empire, a region with a population of over four million people.[2]
Scheduled service to Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport (Arizona) on Western Express Air was discontinued when that airline ceased operations at the end of May 2007.[3]
Riverside Municipal Airport has been the home to Civil Air Patrol Squadron 5 since 2005.
Riverside Municipal Airport covers 525 acres (212 ha) and has two runways and one helipad:
Riverside Airport's full service runways feature ILS, GPS, and VOR approaches for all-weather arrivals and departures.
The main runway, RWY 9-27, accommodates Gulfstream V, Dassault Falcon 50, Bombardier Challenger, Cessna Citation X and similar business-class aircraft. Should there be plans to expand, the Airport's current Master Plan supports lengthening this runway to 6,153 feet (1,875 m). Runway 27 is also served by a Visual Approach Slope Indicator.
The crosswind runway, RWY 16-34, is suited for cabin-class aircraft and smaller in crosswind conditions from the north. Runway 34 is also served by a Precision Approach Path Indicator.
