Description

Oakridge is a nice little airport set up on a small plateau next to town surrounded by 4,000'+ terrain. As such, mountain flying experience is suggested.

In the summer, because of its position between the surrounding mountains, it is subject to severe turbulence and downdrafts, especially on final for 27. Afternoons are usually the worst. A standard pattern will work for approaches to Runway 27, but you'll need to be creative to approach Runway 09 because of surrounding terrain.

Runway 27 is preferred landing and departing runway. Runway 27 slopes downhill significantly. There are trees on the approach to Runway 27. There is a white concrete patch about 800 feet down Runway 27. If not touched down by this point, a go around is wise. Fly departures off of Runway 27 by following the river canyon to the northwest if your aircraft lacks climb performance.

There is no courtesy car or other services here. Nearby houses may have a phone in case of emergency. It is a fairly long walk (2 miles) to town, which is about 500' below the airport. This makes for an easy walk down, but not so easy return.

Camping may be possible near the tiedown area, but this is not verified.

There is signficiant firefighting activity here most summers. Check NOTAMs to ensure airport is open.
