What Travelers Say

AI-Generated Summary Based on web research

Based on available information, "Pine Lake Airport (US-11988)" appears to be a misidentification; the relevant details point to Pine Mountain Lake Airport (FAA LID: E45) located in Groveland, Tuolumne County, California, United States. This is a general aviation airport, not a commercial one, which means typical "traveler reviews" for terminal facilities, security, and commercial flights are not applicable. Instead, the available information reflects pilot-centric experiences and airport operational details. Overall pilot sentiment appears to be positive regarding its utility for private aviation, particularly for accessing the nearby Yosemite region.

Common Complaints

Pine Mountain Lake Airport (E45) is a functional and well-equipped general aviation airport, primarily serving private pilots and the local community with essential services.
