Calhan Airport (5V4) sits in Calhan, Colorado. The field elevation is 6,450 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 4,565 ft long and surfaced turf-gravel. The longest runway is 4,565 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.725.
Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 7,250 ft MSL. No ILS approaches are published. The airport is in a high-elevation part of Colorado, so density altitude will matter on warm days. Check performance before departure.
Published remarks show several items a first-time pilot should plan for. Runway 35 uses a non-standard right-hand traffic pattern. Low-intensity runway lighting is available from dusk to dawn. The VASI on runway 17 is activated by CTAF. Be alert for intensive Air Force student training in the Colorado Springs and Pueblo area. There is also an aerobatic practice area one-half mile west of runway 17/35 from 300 ft AGL to 10,000 ft MSL.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current service details. The published remarks also note runway-side obstructions, a road near the runway and vehicles crossing the runway. Treat this as a close-in, low-margin field and brief your approach before you get there.
