Wildcat Canyon (3T8) sits in China Spring, Texas. Field elevation is 660 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 15/33 is 2,450 ft of turf, which makes it a short-field, light-aircraft strip rather than a place to plan on long pavement margins.
There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published runway headings are 152° and 332° magnetic.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go if you need fuel or other services. The published remarks matter here. Deer and wild hogs are reported on the runway area. There is also a 100-foot high tension power line marked about 2,500 feet northwest of the runway 15 end. Clearance delivery is handled through Fort Worth ARTCC at 817-858-7584. For a first-time arrival, treat this as a small turf field with wildlife and obstacle awareness. Plan a conservative approach. Keep an eye out on rollout. Verify current details in the FAA Chart Supplement before departure.
