Riverside Municipal Airport (RAL)
Riverside Municipal (KRAL) is a small primarily general and corporate aviation airport, located on the west side of the city of Riverside, California. As with many airports in this part of the country, there are several airports in close proximity to Riverside. Chino Airport is just nine miles west, the larger Ontario International is approximately ten miles northwest, and March Air Force Base is nine miles to the east.
Chandler Municipal Airport (CHD)
Chandler Municipal (CHD) is a medium-sized primarily general and corporate aviation airport located approximately 14 miles southeast of the larger and busier Phoenix Sky Harbor International (KPHX) Airport. Its location makes it an attractive alternative to the more congested larger airport. CHD has its own Class Delta airspace that is immediately adjacent to the Mesa-Gateway Airport located 8 miles to the east. It also underlies the KPHX Class Bravo airspace. Understanding the requirements to operate in these areas before you arrive at CHD is essential.
