RWY 17

Arledge Field sits in Stamford, Texas. Field elevation is 1,560.8 ft MSL. The airport has three runways. The longest is 17/35 at 3,707 ft. This is an untowered field. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 2,561 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Runway 17/35 has medium intensity lighting that is activated on CTAF. The on-field FBO is Arledge Field. It carries 100LL. Call them at (325) 370-7986 before arrival if you need current service details.

Two runways are turf. Runway 08/26 is 2,211 ft. The surface is reported rough. Runway 13/31 is 1,702 ft. The surface is also reported rough. There is a 10-foot road about 60 feet east of the runway centerline near the threshold of runway 17. Farm equipment has also been reported in the vicinity. Clearance delivery goes through Fort Worth ARTCC at 817-858-7584. For a first visit, plan for a small-field environment. Watch the rough turf. Brief the lighting and obstruction near runway 17 before you go.
