Goldfield Airport sits in Goldfield, Nevada at 5,616 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 01/19 is 3,150 ft of gravel. The field is not towered, so use CTAF 122.9 and keep your scan tight in the pattern. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 6,616 ft MSL. This is high desert country. Density altitude can get your attention fast. The published remarks also call out mountains in all quadrants, so night operations are discouraged.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the field directly before arrival if you need current services. The published remarks also note uphill arrivals on runway 19 and downhill departures on runway 01. Runway 19 has a 30-foot drop about 200 feet from the threshold left of centerline. There are power lines east of the runway, plus ruts on the north side. Runway 01 has white tire markings. Runway 19 does too. Airport condition information is available by phone at 702-509-0059.
