The field itself

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.

San Nicolas Island NOLF Airport Runway Diagram Print

NSI is a one runway field, and the print is built around that single stroke. Runway 12/30 runs 10,002 feet at 200 feet wide, rendered as one long diagonal from the 12 threshold at upper left to the 30 threshold at lower right. There is no crossing strip, no V, no second angle competing for attention. The published designators sit in the pavement at each end, small and legible, the only numbers inside the drawing itself.

What fills out the composition is everything hung off that line. A taxiway runs parallel along the southwest side for nearly the full length, tied back to the runway by connectors that break it into a row of long links, and a compact apron and building cluster sits near midfield where the taxiway widens. Both ends finish in a looped turnaround. Because the runway carries the darkest value on the sheet and the taxiway system is held back in a lighter grey, the eye reads the strip first and then walks the supporting geometry, which is the part that rewards a second look from close range. The field sits at 506 feet of elevation, and the published magnetic variation of 12E is why a runway aligned this way carries 12 and 30.

A single diagonal is unusually easy to hang. It sets up a strong line across an otherwise quiet sheet, so the piece holds a wall on its own without fighting whatever is next to it, and it pairs cleanly with a busier multi runway field if you are building a row. In the colorway you choose, the runway stays the anchor and the taxiway drops to a supporting tone. If you want a California island field next to mainland fields in the same treatment, Oxnard and Long Beach are drawn to the same rules.

San Nicolas Island (NSI) print, common questions

How many runways does San Nicolas Island NOLF have?

One. Runway 12/30 is the only runway in the published data and the only runway in the print, which is why the artwork reads as a single diagonal strip rather than a crossing pattern.

How long is the runway at NSI?

Runway 12/30 is 10,002 feet long and 200 feet wide, with a paved surface published under the code PEM. Those dimensions set the proportions of the strip you see on the sheet.

What does NSI stand for and where is the airport?

NSI is the location identifier for San Nicolas Island NOLF, and it is the code set in large type on the print. The field is on San Nicolas Island, California, near 33.2398 degrees north and 119.4582 degrees west, at an elevation of 506 feet.

Is the layout accurate?

The diagram is plotted from published airport information, so runway 12/30, its 10,002 foot length, its 200 foot width and the parallel taxiway all follow that data. It is a graphic reduction rather than a chart, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Pavement markings, lighting and signage are the usual examples.

What sizes and finishes can I get?

The NSI artwork 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; the download is a file. A long diagonal like this one holds up well at larger sizes, where the connectors and the midfield cluster stay readable.

Does it work as a gift?

Yes, particularly for someone with a connection to San Nicolas Island or to flying out over the California coast. It is specific without being loud: one identifier, one runway, coordinates and elevation, and nothing else on the sheet.
