San Martin Airport (formerly South County Airport of Santa Clara County, colloquially South County Airport) (FAA LID: E16) (formerly Q99) is a public non-towered airport located one mile (1.6 km) east of San Martin, serving Santa Clara County, California, U.S.A.[1] This general aviation airport covers 179 acres (72 ha) and has one runway. A self-service fueling facility offers 100LL aviation gasoline continuously. Jet-A fuel is available from a full-service truck during FBO operating hours, and major airframe and powerplant service are available. The FBO at South County, which serves Jet-A and 100LL is Magnum Aviation.
Although still distinctly visible from the air and shown on some maps, taxiway "F", adjacent to the U.S. Route 101 fence, has been abandoned and decommissioned since about 2000. A county airport diagram of San Martin

Instrument approaches and departures
San Martin Airport has one instrument approach procedure approved and published by the FAA. The RNAV (GPS) RWY 32 approach is documented for normal and circling approaches using RNAV or GPS guidance with 1200' MDA and 1 1/4 mile visibility minimums. Currently the RNAV (GPS) RWY 32 approach is not approved for use at night.[2] The airport is also equipped with pilot controlled lighting.
There are no Standard Instrument Departure procedures published for the San Martin Airport.
Takeoff minimum visibility is standard at 1 mile for climb in instrument conditions, or alternately a ceiling of 1700 feet and 2 1/2 miles visibility for climb in visual conditions while operating under an instrument flight plan and clearance.[3]
Name change proposal
In late 2013 County of Santa Clara staff recommended that the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors rename South County Airport to The San Martin Airport. This recommendation was approved by the County Airports Commission on 1 October 2013[4] and referred to the Board of Supervisors for final approval. The board of supervisors subsequently unanimously approved the proposal on 28 January 2014, making its proposed name official.[5]
