The field itself

This is Carlsbad's own layout, the way its runways run and the taxiways thread between them, composed into a print you will want to look at every day. Not a stock template with a new name on it.

Museum-quality cotton paper

Heavyweight 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, acid-free and archival-grade. Its high color gamut and black density give the runways real depth, and pigment inks keep the fine detail crisp on a smooth matte surface.

Solid wood framing or glossy metal

Frame it in 1.25 inch solid wood, black, white or natural oak, with the white beveled mat, optical-grade clear acrylic and hanging wire included. Or choose glossy metal: dye sublimation into aluminum, floated about 3/4 inch off the wall on a hidden mount.

McClellan-Palomar Airport Runway Diagram Print

CRQ is a single-runway field, and the print says so in one stroke: runway 06/24, 4,897 feet long and 150 feet wide, asphalt, laid across the sheet as one long diagonal from lower left to upper right. The 6 marker sits at the southwest end, the 24 at the northeast end, both set in the dark band of the runway itself. There is no crossing strip, no parallel, no V. One bar, one angle, and the whole composition hangs off it.

What fills the rest of the frame is the ground side of McClellan-Palomar. Below the runway a grey ribbon of taxiway runs its full length and loops back at both ends, and south of that the apron widens into a dense cluster of hangar and terminal blocks, small rectangles packed tight enough to read as texture rather than as individual buildings. That contrast is what makes the artwork work on a wall: one confident black diagonal, one soft grey mass underneath it, and a lot of clean paper around both. The footer carries the CRQ identifier, Carlsbad, California, the coordinates 33.1283 N and 117.2801 W, and the field elevation of 331 feet.

The runway numbers come from magnetic heading, and Carlsbad sits in an area with a published magnetic variation of 14E, which is part of why a strip pointed roughly northeast reads as 06/24 rather than anything else. Plotted from published airport information, the piece is a quiet, graphic thing next to busier Southern California layouts. Pair it with the inland single strip at Ramona, or with one of the bigger multi-runway diagrams from San Diego, and the difference in how much ink each field needs becomes the point of the wall.

Carlsbad (CRQ) print, common questions

How many runways does CRQ have?

One. McClellan-Palomar has a single runway, 06/24, and the print shows it as one diagonal strip with 6 at the southwest end and 24 at the northeast end.

How long is the runway at McClellan-Palomar?

Runway 06/24 is 4,897 feet long and 150 feet wide, with an asphalt surface. That length makes it the longest, and only, runway on the field.

Where is CRQ and how high is it?

CRQ is McClellan-Palomar, in Carlsbad, California, at roughly 33.1283 N and 117.2801 W. Field elevation is 331 feet, and that figure is printed in the footer of the artwork.

What does the code CRQ mean?

CRQ is the three-letter identifier assigned to McClellan-Palomar in Carlsbad. It is the code shown large at the bottom of the print, above the city, state, coordinates and elevation.

How accurate is the layout in this airport map print?

The runway, taxiway and apron shapes are composed from published airport information, so the single 06/24 diagonal and the building cluster south of it sit where the published layout puts them. This is artwork rather than a navigation chart, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Painted markings, lighting and signage are examples of what gets left out.

What formats does this come in, and does it work as a gift?

It is offered as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print and a Digital Download, in a range of sizes. Physical pieces are made to order in the colorway you choose; the download is a file. It is an easy gift for a pilot who trained at Carlsbad, a student who soloed there, or anyone who has flown the 06/24 approach.
