San Martin Airport

Food Truck Fly-In today. Lots to see and lots of food trucks!

Very cool Public Airport of San Martin. Be cautious of Trade Winds Aviation’s employees and it’s owner. Trade Winds Aviation thinks they own the Airport and The Parking lot. They act extremely suspicious even towards long time members of San Martin Airport. Other than avoiding Trade Winds Aviation, the Airport is really nice and offers allot. Been enjoying this Airport for many years in my home county and will continue to do so! 🌴👍🏼

Pretty neat! Refreshing wild-west feel compared to controlled airspaces.

Only been there once or twice,to see the airplane's.people there are very friendly and don't mind seeing you around...

This is an excellent location to begin your flight training. As an instructor with over 7,000 hours of instruction given and 15 years of experience, I can tell you this location is an ideal platform for learning to fly. When my students are ready for complex airspace we have that to the north of the airport and when they're only suited for less complex airspace when they're initially learning we have that aplenty in the area of our airport and to the South into the West and to the east.

The other great advantage of this location, is that practice areas are very close and can be accessed readily. Some of the airports much further to the North - Airport Palo Alto Airport and San Carlos require the pilot to fly some distance before they're able to find a suitable practice area. Not to mention the problems with San Carlos airport is that the winds are almost always cross at the field it takes at least a half hour to get to a practice area not to mention the low overlying class bravo airspace that sits only 1500 ft above the airport. Not to mention the issues of fog off the nearby Bay and long sequencing times out of Palo Alto Airport.

San Martin Airport has none of the aforementioned problems. Most days are flyable and the runways, readily accessible. Just minutes away is a towered Airport when it comes to practicing towered operations it's a short distance away at Reid Hillview Airport.

Again, San Martin Airport it's an ideal location to learn to fly and that's coming from an instructor with over 15 years of experience an FAA gold seal flight certificate with over 7,000 hours of instruction given.

I hope you choose to begin the adventure of a lifetime and live that dream of becoming a pilot. If you want to find me just Google LearnToFlyWithPilotGuy,
