WINGS FOR CHRIST INTL FLT ACADEMY (73F) sits in Waco, Texas at 455 ft MSL. This is a small field with no listed runways in the facts block, so verify the current runway layout and usable length before you go. The airport is inside Class D airspace. Contact TSTC tower on 124.0 for the current local picture. No ILS approaches are published here.
Traffic pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. CTAF is 122.9. Published remarks also note that low-intensity runway lights on runway 16/34 are activated by using the CTAF. The remarks call out a 5-foot fence near the displaced threshold area. They also note a 4-foot fence along both sides of the runway on the south half. There are 40-foot trees near the threshold of runway 34. That makes a close look at the current runway and obstacle picture important before arrival.
No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF for current service availability. For clearance delivery, contact Fort Worth ARTCC at 817-858-7584. The published remarks also say the traffic pattern and communications agreements are compatible with James Connally Airport.
