Lea County/JAL Airport (E26) sits in JAL, New Mexico. Field elevation is 3,118 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 01/19 at 4,704 ft. 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 operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at about 4,118 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Runway 01 and runway 19 have PAPI. Medium intensity runway lights on 01/19 are activated on CTAF.
There are no on-field FBOs listed, so call the airport operator or the field directly before arrival for fuel and services. Published remarks also note oil drilling activity on and near the airport. That is worth planning around on arrival and departure. Runway 09 has nearby road and fence obstructions. Runway 27 also has a road close to the threshold. Runway 19 has a pump jack near the approach path. Expect a non-towered environment with local traffic on CTAF. Keep a close scan for surface hazards near both runways.
