San Carlos Airport (IATA: SQL, ICAO: KSQL, FAA LID: SQL) is a county-owned public use airport in San Mateo County, California, United States. It is located two nautical miles (3.7 km) northeast of the central business district of San Carlos, California. The FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) classifies San Carlos as a reliever airport for San Francisco International Airport.
The airport is off U.S. Route 101. The airport is home to Civil Air Patrol West Bay Composite Squadron 192. Adjacent to the airport is the Hiller Air Museum. History
The San Carlos Airport was moved to its present location in 1950. Prior to that, the airport was located approximately one-half mile southwest of its current location at the site where a Best Buy is now located. This original San Carlos airport was opened by Frank S. Cooley prior to 1928.
Facilities and aircraft
San Carlos Airport covers an area of 110 acres (45 ha) at an elevation of 5 feet (2 m) above mean sea level. It has one asphalt paved runway designated 12/30 which measures 2,600 by 75 feet (792 x 23 m).
An attempt to lengthen the runway by 400 feet was quelled by neighbors in 1999. Aircraft with maximum gross weight in excess of 12,500 lb (5,670 kg) are prohibited from operating from San Carlos Airport.
The San Carlos Airport is home to over 30 aviation related businesses. Facilities and FBOs at KSQL include: Zanette Aviation Insurance, West Valley Flying Club, Bel-Air Aviation, Air West Aircraft Engines, and Diamond Aviation.
For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2007, the airport had 155,273 aircraft operations, an average of 425 per day: 98% general aviation, 2% air taxi and <1% military. At that time there were 372 aircraft based at this airport: 86% single-engine, 11% multi-engine, <1% jet and 3% helicopter.
Origin of SQL airport code
Given its proximity to the headquarters of the Oracle Corporation, a maker of database software, some have speculated that the airport code of SQL is a humorous reference to this large neighbor; in databases, SQL stands for Structured Query Language. It is just a coincidence, though one that many technically-inclined residents of the Bay Area and Silicon Valley were sure to notice. The airport was given this code well before the founding of the Oracle corporation.
