Duckwater Airport sits in Duckwater, Nevada. The field elevation is 5,133 ft MSL. It has two dirt runways. The longest is 3,400 ft on runway 15/33. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use a standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the normal pattern reference at 6,133 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. Runway 15/33 has berms on both sides. Runway 03/21 has a berm on the north side. It also has a ditch on the south side. The remarks also call out power lines near both runway ends. Watch for livestock on the runways. There are tie-downs near the runway intersection.
This is a high-elevation dirt strip with no tower and no published instrument approach. Plan for visual work only. Density altitude can be a factor here because of the elevation. Check winds, runway condition and obstacle clearance before you commit. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568. If you need current operational details, check the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator directly.
