Fabens Airport sits in Fabens, Texas. The field elevation is 3,680 ft MSL. It has one runway, 08/26, which is 4,197 ft long. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the standard pattern at 4,680 ft MSL. The airport uses magnetic headings, so runway 08 is 089° magnetic and runway 26 is 269° magnetic.
Olivas Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL. The rotating beacon and the medium intensity runway lights are activated by CTAF. The PAPI is out of service on both runway ends. There is also an 8-foot fence near the runway 08 end. Rising terrain lies east of runway 08/26. That matters on departure and on the approach side if you are coming in from the east. For clearance delivery, contact Albuquerque ARTCC. If you need current airport details before arrival, call the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone.
