RWY 06

Cuchara Valley at La Veta is in La Veta, Colorado. The field elevation is 7,152.5 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 06/24 is 5,798 ft long with an asphalt surface. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless local guidance says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 8,152.5 ft MSL. The airport is high elevation, so expect performance to be different from low-country fields. Density altitude can climb fast on warm days. Plan your takeoff and landing numbers carefully.

Published remarks matter here. Runway and ramp surfaces have cracking. Runway 24 has faded markings. There is also a large hole on runway 24 marked with an orange safety cone about 500 ft from the approach end. Runway 24 has a metal sign post near the north taxiway about 500 ft from the approach end. Runway 06 has a fence near the approach path. Runway 6 and runway 24 also have non-standard lighting at the threshold end. Clearance delivery is handled through Denver ARTCC. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify fuel and services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go.
