Alpine Airport (46U) has 1 runway. Runway 13/31 is 5,827 ft long and 70 ft wide. The surface is asphalt. No ILS runway ends are published. This is a non-towered field at 5,637 ft MSL, so pilots should plan for local procedures and density altitude. The airport is noise sensitive. Published guidance recommends landing runway 13 and taking off runway 31 for noise abatement because of the town of Alpine and airport housing nearby. Touch and goes are prohibited. A voluntary curfew runs from dusk to dawn. Night landings are limited to Airpark residents only. Night operations are not advised for pilots unfamiliar with the terrain. Wildlife is reported on and near the airport, including bird and waterfowl hazard.

Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless local guidance says otherwise. Runway 13 has right traffic. Runway 31 uses standard left traffic unless otherwise assigned. This is a non-towered airport, so self-announce and sequence with other traffic. The published noise abatement guidance matters here. Expect runway 13 for landing and runway 31 for departure when practical. Watch for terrain and wildlife near the field.

Every end, one page

Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
