Conchas Lake Airport (E61) sits at Conchas Dam in New Mexico. Field elevation is 4,201 ft MSL. There are no listed runways at this site, so this is a water operation and not a paved-strip arrival. The airport is non-towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement or local guidance says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. Water level can change from 4,153 to 4,201 ft. That can expose snags and land masses below 4,175 ft. Heavy boat traffic is common from May through October. A wind warning light west of the dam at the lodge flashes when winds are above 20 mph. Operations are not authorized north of the dam.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-briefing and confirm current conditions before arrival. The remarks also note southwest wind is common. Landing and takeoff to the west is recommended. For clearance delivery, contact Albuquerque ARTCC. The dam is about 5,000 ft northeast of the airport, so keep that landmark in mind during your approach and departure planning.
