About Bakersfield International Airport
Overview
Bakersfield International Airport (KL45) is a medium-sized airport located in Bakersfield, California, serving the local aviation community. Situated at an elevation of 378 feet mean sea level, the airport provides critical regional air transportation infrastructure for the southern San Joaquin Valley region.
Flying Conditions
The airport's moderate elevation and inland location suggest potential for variable weather conditions typical of central California's climate. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal activity and potential wind variations due to the surrounding terrain and valley geography.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (16/34) with an asphalt surface measuring 4,000 feet in length. Its geographic coordinates at 35.324799, -118.996002 place it in a region characterized by relatively flat terrain with proximity to mountainous areas to the east and west.
Approach Considerations
Runway 16/34 provides a linear approach path aligned with the local geographic orientation. Given the runway's moderate length of 4,000 feet, pilots should carefully evaluate aircraft performance characteristics and weight considerations during takeoff and landing operations.
