Runways & Approaches

Sacramento Executive operates two asphalt runways. The primary, Runway 2/20, measures 5,503 ft x 150 ft and carries the field's instrument capability, including a full ILS to Runway 2 (with MALSR approach lighting) plus RNAV (GPS) and visual procedures. The crosswind Runway 12/30 is 3,837 ft x 100 ft and serves light aircraft and crosswind operations. A former third runway, 16/34, was permanently closed in 2017-2019.

At 5,503 feet and 24 ft field elevation, the primary runway comfortably handles light jets, midsize jets, and most super-midsize types such as the Phenom 300, Citation XLS+, Challenger 350, and Gulfstream G280. Large-cabin heavy jets (Gulfstream G650, Global 6000) can be limited by the runway length and should have takeoff and landing performance verified against weight, temperature, and trip requirements; many heavy operators into the region use Sacramento International (KSMF) or Mather (KMHR) instead.

Private Aviation Briefing — History, Operations & Planning

Airport Overview

Sacramento Executive Airport (KSAC, FAA/IATA: SAC) is a public-use general aviation airport owned by Sacramento County and located just three miles south of the California State Capitol and downtown Sacramento. Its proximity to the city center makes it the preferred private-aviation gateway for state-government, legal, and business travelers, with ramp-to-car access that eliminates the terminal processing of nearby commercial Sacramento International (KSMF).

Runway Capability

The field has two asphalt runways: primary 2/20 at 5,503 ft x 150 ft and crosswind 12/30 at 3,837 ft x 100 ft. Runway 2 is served by an ILS plus RNAV (GPS) and visual approaches. The 5,503-foot length supports light, midsize, and most super-midsize business jets; heavy-cabin aircraft should verify performance, and many divert to Sacramento International or Mather for longer runways.

FBO & Ground Services

A single FBO, Modern Aviation (the former Sacramento Jet Center / SACjet), serves the field with Jet-A and 100LL fuel, ramp and hangar parking, ground handling, and passenger and crew amenities. The operator also runs facilities at Sacramento International and Mather, giving flexibility across the county's three airports.

Charter Considerations

KSAC's downtown proximity and towered, instrument-capable operation make it ideal for time-sensitive trips into Sacramento. The Jet Finder sources FAA Part 135 aircraft matched to the 5,503-foot primary runway. For one-way charters, we look for aircraft repositioning through the Sacramento area to reduce empty-leg costs.

Safety & Planning

The control tower operates daily from approximately 0600 to 2100 local; outside those hours the field reverts to a non-towered, CTAF/UNICOM operation and the Runway 2 ILS is unmonitored. There is no on-field U.S. Customs, so international arrivals clear at a CBP port such as Sacramento International (KSMF). The Jet Finder vets operator certificates, insurance, and crew currency before every flight.

Seasonal & Operational Factors

The Sacramento Valley brings hot, dry summers where afternoon density altitude can affect performance on the 5,503-foot runway; early-morning departures preserve payload. Winter Tule fog is the signature regional hazard, periodically dropping visibility to IFR or LIFR minimums, which is why instrument capability and schedule flexibility matter here.

Regional Context

KSAC is the closest-in of the Sacramento area's airports. Sacramento International (KSMF, ~12 NM) offers longer runways and customs; Mather (KMHR) and McClellan (KMCC) provide additional GA and heavy-jet capacity. California has more registered aircraft than any other state, and the capital region is well served by this cluster of reliever fields.
