Dayton Valley Airpark sits near Dayton and Carson City in Nevada. The field elevation is 4,414.3 ft MSL. It has one runway, 07/25, which is 5,343 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement or the airport manager says otherwise. At this elevation, density altitude can matter on warm days. Expect longer takeoff rolls and a slower climb than you may see at lower fields.

There is also an unlighted 198 ft tower near runway 07. A deep ditch is in the runway safety area at the southeast corner. Wildlife is part of the picture too. Wild horses, migratory birds and waterfowl are reported on and near the airport.
