• From the ground, the airfield tends to look like
  one big slab of concrete making it difficult to
  discern taxiway from pad from runway.
• In general, the taxiways are a lighter color of
  concrete. If in question, stop and ask ground for
  progressive.

Departure Procedures

• R/W 18 Primary departure runway. After takeoff,
  climb straight ahead, adhering to any altitude
  restrictions imposed by tower or IFR clearance.
• R/W 11 Winds from the EAST. After takeoff, turn
  right 30º or greater, as soon as possible to
  reduce noise in the city of Coronado, BUT DO NOT
  OVERFLY CLUB or LODGE AREA NEAR DEPARTURE END OF
  RUNWAY.

Arrival Procedures

• R/W 29 OVERHEAD
• Break Altitude 1500 AGL
• Pattern Altitude 1000 AGL
• Left Traffic
• Helicopters in the Channel be aware of fixed wing
  aircraft departing R/W 29 will make a climbing
  left turn to 2000 AGL

Arrival Procedures

• R/W 29
• Fixed wing a/c on an offset GCA will be
  instructed to proceed visually at 1 mile from
  touchdown/runway (2 DME). Decision Height is at
  2 miles for offset approach. PAR Offset
  approaches are in effect when wx is gt 600/2nm
• VFR a/c inbound from the W/SW should remain at or
  above 2,500 until crossing the R/W 18/36
  extended centerline.

20
Arrival Procedures

• R/W 18
• A/C requesting Bay approach for Runway 18 shall
  cross 4 DME East of the airport 1000 or above.
  Be extremely cautious of GCA a/c inbound to
  Runway 29. Aircraft altitudes are approximately
  the same where the Runway 29 extended centerline
  is crossed entering the BAY. When proceeding up
  the bay, staying in the center of the channel and
  cross the Coronado Bay Bridge at 1500.

21
Arrival Procedures

• R/W 36
• Primary arrival runway for Tactical and Heavy
  aircraft
• No break traffic
• CAUTION Pt. Loma 544
• At night there are flashing white lights on the

  crosses the extended centerline. These lights
  point toward a brightly lit magazine area to the
  left of the runway.

Visual Approach R/W 29
HOTEL VISUAL APPROACH (Published) For visual
straight-ins or the Break. Intercept the MISSION
BAY 148º or NZY 125º radial to extended runway
(approx 800ft) OR- You may also get vectors to
SHARC (NZY 135_at_5), then aim for end of
runway. Stay above 2,5OO until past R/W 18
