Benson Muni / Paul Kerchum Fld sits in Benson, Arizona. The field elevation is 3,830.9 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 10/28 is 4,002 ft of asphalt, so plan performance with the elevation in mind. This is a non-towered field. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Southwestern Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL. For clearance delivery, contact Tucson Approach at 520-829-6121. The published remarks also note wildlife on and near the airport. Runway 10/28 lighting is medium intensity and is activated by CTAF. The airport is for VFR operations only per the published remarks.
There are also a few local hazards to keep in mind. The remarks call out erratic wind about 0.5 NM from the threshold when wind is above 10 knots. They also note a 110-foot taxiway extending from the threshold to the west. Four 15-foot ditches are located on both sides of the runway ends and the west half of the runway. Headwalls are 130 feet south of the centerline. That makes a careful taxi and landing brief worth doing before you go.
