Dove Creek Airport sits in Dove Creek, Colorado. The field elevation is 6,975 ft MSL. It has one runway, 01/19, which is 4,200 ft long and dirt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
The traffic pattern altitude is 7,700 ft MSL. That is 725 ft AGL. The runway headings are magnetic. Runway 01 is 21°. Runway 19 is 201°.
This is a high-elevation field, so performance planning matters. The runway is also reported closed when snow covered. Published remarks say the surface can be soft when wet. Vehicles are present on the airport. There are also rodent holes in the runway surface, so expect a rougher-than-normal strip and use caution on rollout and taxi.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival for current services. For clearance delivery, contact Denver ARTCC at 303-651-4257. First-time pilots should also note the obstruction environment near runway 01 and 19. The published remarks call out a fence, a road, trees, a ditch, bushes and a ground obstruction near the runway. That makes a careful preflight and a stabilized approach important here.
