RWY 17

Post-Garza County Muni is in Post, Texas. The field elevation is 2,545 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 4,200 ft on runway 17/35. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 3,545 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. The airport sits in open West Texas country, so expect density altitude to matter on warm days. Deer and feral hogs are reported on and near the airport. A careful runway scan makes sense on taxi, takeoff and landing.

Runway 17 and runway 06/24 both have published pavement issues. The Chart Supplement notes seal coat spalling, loose stones and asphalt on those surfaces. Runway 35 has a highway about 7 ft below runway elevation near the threshold area. For clearance delivery, contact Fort Worth ARTCC at 817-858-7584. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify fuel and services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go.
