Approaching from the north and northeast via Sterling Suites and Calaveras Reservoir, expect outbound traffic turning right for noise abatement.
The route

When it applies
- Runway configuration unconfirmed The county states a direction of approach ("from the north and northeast") but names no runway, so applicability is left unconfirmed rather than inferred
