Shafter-Minter Field’s RNAV (GPS) and VOR procedures both serve the same runway end, leaving the other five ends without a published instrument approach. The three runway alignments offer directional choice, but the longest is 4,501 ft and the shortest falls just below 3,000 ft, making available length a clear constraint for aircraft requiring longer take-off or landing distances. No FAA airport diagram accompanies the procedures, so the chart set does not depict how the three runways connect.
Meadows Field has substantially broader procedure coverage than the other nearby airports. Delano Municipal, Bakersfield Municipal and Porterville Municipal have similarly compact sets, while Mefford Field’s is thinner still. The Las Vegas and Los Angeles sectionals add the wider VFR context absent from the airport’s small instrument collection.

3 current FAA charts for Shafter-Minter Fld, including 2 instrument approachs. All are free to download as PDFs from this page, from the 6 August 2026 cycle.
CTAF 122.9. Full civil VHF list, with sector notes, is in the frequencies table on this page — from the FAA NASR subscription.
Shafter-Minter Fld has 3 runways. The longest is 12/30 at 4,501 ft by 100 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.
No ILS is published. In total KMIT has 2 published instrument approaches, of which 1 are RNAV (GPS).
Every published approach serves one runway end. There is no instrument procedure to the reciprocal direction, so an arrival in instrument conditions commits to that single approach direction regardless of the wind.
No — Shafter-Minter Fld has no control tower. Traffic co-ordinates on a common frequency rather than with a controller, which is listed in the frequencies table on this page.
