Spicewood Airport (88R) is in Spicewood, Texas. The field elevation is 830 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 4,185 ft long with an asphalt surface. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 122.8 for local traffic. UNICOM is also on 122.8 for airport traffic calls. No ILS approaches are published here.
The published pattern altitude is not listed. For light piston operations, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. Spicewood Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL. For clearance delivery, contact Austin Approach at 512-369-7865 before departure if you need IFR handling.
The remarks matter here. Runway 17 is the calm wind runway. The airport is closed at night except for helicopters, medevac and military flights. It is also closed to tailwheel, ultralights, hang gliders, jet aircraft and turbojets except very light jets. Watch the terrain and obstructions. There is rising terrain near the threshold of runway 35. There are trees and a building affecting the runway 17 approach path. Deer are reported on and near the airport. There is no line of sight between runway ends. A careful radio scan and good situational awareness help on the ground and in the pattern.
