Camarillo Airport

There is a seperate airport in the southwestern part of the airport for light sports and ultralight aircraft only. The Camarillo Airport was founded in 1942 when the California State Highway Department built an additional airstrip with a 1,500 meter long airstrip, which was lengthened to 2,400 meters (8,000 ft) in 1951 to give it the space that had evolved into Oxnard Air Force Base.

The Camarillo airport extends over an area of 260 hectares and includes a 8/26 strip measuring 1,833 x 46 metres (6,013 x 150 ft). Over the 12-month to 5 June 2006 horizon, 153,360 aeroplanes were operated, representing an annual mean of 420 per day: This airport has 600 aircraft:

It is 84% single-engine, 8% multi-engine, 5% ultra-light, 3% jets and 1% helicopters[1] It is an FAA-towered installation and there are three fixed-base operators seated at the airport.
