TRIPLE-ACE FLD is in Decatur, Texas. The field elevation is 1,010 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 02/20 is 1,271 ft of turf, so plan for a short-field setup and check the surface before you go. The airport is uncontrolled. Use CTAF 122.8 for traffic calls. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current FAA Chart Supplement or local traffic calls say otherwise. The published remarks also matter here. No student training is permitted. The runway can get soft after rain, so call for field conditions before departure or arrival. That is especially important on a turf strip with a short runway.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need current field status or services. For a first-time pilot, the main things to watch are the turf condition, the short runway length and the lack of published instrument approaches. Treat it as a VFR planning airport and verify current conditions before you launch.
