Big Bend Ranch State Park Airport sits near Presidio, Texas. The field elevation is 4,250 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 08/26 is 5,500 ft long with asphalt and gravel surface. 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 unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at 5,250 ft MSL. The airport is remote. There is no cell phone coverage. The road to the field is very rough. The airport is 26 miles from the ranch gate. After arrival, check in at the ranger station, which is 1 mile from the airport.
Published remarks also note loose stones on runway 08/26. Brush is reported at the runway edge near both ends. Hills surround the airport near runway 08. That makes the east end the one to study closely before you go in. For clearance delivery, contact Albuquerque ARTCC at 505-856-4861. The park superintendent is the airport manager. Verify current field conditions and any operational limits with the airport operator before departure.
