Alpine-Casparis Muni sits in Alpine, Texas at 4,514.4 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 01/19 at 6,002 ft. Runway 05/23 is 5,018 ft. This is a non-towered field. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless local procedures or the current chart supplement say otherwise. The field is high enough that performance planning matters, especially on warm days. Expect higher density altitude than you would at lower-elevation airports.
The on-field FBO is Alpine-Casparis Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Self-serve fuel is available 24 hours. The airport can be unattended on Sundays and major holidays. After hours there is a call-in fee, so plan ahead if you expect a late arrival.
A few operational notes matter here. Runway 01/19 has medium intensity lights preset to low intensity. Use the CTAF to increase intensity. The PAPI for runway 01 does not provide obstruction clearance beyond 2.0 NM from the threshold. For clearance delivery, contact Albuquerque ARTCC at 505-856-4861. If you are new to the field, brief the high elevation. Brief the runway lighting setup. Brief the lack of published ILS before you go.
