What Travelers Love

Pilot Lounge: A 24-hour pilot lounge is available, offering Wi-Fi, snacks, drinks for purchase, and air conditioning, making it a comfortable spot for breaks, especially in hot weather.
Affordable Fuel: The airport provides reasonably priced self-serve Avgas (100LL) and Jet A fuel, often noted as being cheaper than at other airports.
Ample Transient Parking: There is plenty of transient parking available, with some spots equipped with chain tie-downs, which is useful given the potential for gusty winds.

Common Complaints

Limited FBO Hours: The Fixed-Base Operator (FBO) may not always be open on weekends, and access to airport services can be restricted when the FBO is closed, often incurring a call-out fee for after-hours assistance.
No On-Site Rental Cars: Travelers need to make prior arrangements for rental cars through external companies like Avis, as there are no rental car services directly at the airport.
Runway Conditions: While some runways are reported in good condition, others, such as Runway 10/28, have been noted to have issues like pavement cracking and obscured center markings.
Gusty Winds: The area can experience fluctuating temperatures and gusty winds, which pilots should be prepared for, especially during landings.

Inyokern Airport (KIYK) is generally recommended for private pilots and general aviation, particularly for its amenities like the pilot lounge and competitive fuel prices. However, visitors should plan ahead for ground transportation and be aware of potential FBO hour limitations and local wind conditions.
