Conchas Lake Airport (E89) sits at Conchas Dam, New Mexico. Field elevation is 4,232.3 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 09/27 is 4,800 ft long with asphalt pavement. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the current Chart Supplement before you go. For light piston traffic, a standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern is often used when no local pattern is published, but verify that before flight. The airport notes nonstandard approach lighting on both ends. Runway 27 lighting is out of service indefinitely. The approach lights for runways 09 and 27 activate on CTAF.

There are no on-field FBOs listed, so plan ahead for fuel and ground support. Wildlife is reported on and near the airport. There are also published obstructions near both runway ends, including brush and survey markers. Taxiways use retro reflective markers. For clearance delivery, contact Albuquerque ARTCC at 505-856-4861. At this elevation, performance planning matters. Expect higher takeoff and climb distances than at low-elevation fields. Check density altitude before departure.
