Terrell County Airport (6R6) sits near Dryden, Texas. The field elevation is 2,323.4 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 13/31 at 4,526 ft. This is an untowered field, so plan to self-announce on CTAF 122.9 and keep a close ear on traffic. No ILS approaches are published here.
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. At this elevation, density altitude can get your attention on warm days. That matters with two runways that are both a little over 4,500 ft.
Published remarks say both runways have extensive cracking and loose stones. Markings are also poor because of pavement deterioration. Runway 22 has a 10-foot brush obstruction about 15 ft from the runway and 20 ft right of centerline. Medium intensity runway lights on 13/31 are activated by CTAF. Helicopter pad lights use 5 clicks on 123.05. For clearance delivery, contact Houston ARTCC at 281-230-5622. No on-field FBOs are listed, so contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current service status before you go.
