RWY 22

Cochran County Airport sits near Morton, Texas. The field elevation is 3,747.2 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 04/22 at 2,710 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston ops unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the standard pattern around 4,747 ft MSL at this field. Runway 04/22 has medium intensity lights that are out of service indefinitely. Runway 17/35 is 1,775 ft long. It has extensive cracking with vegetation growing through. Runway 17/35 is also closed at night.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go. The published remarks also note an approach slope ratio of 18 to 1 at the displaced threshold of runway 04. That matters if you are planning a low approach or a short final. This is a high-elevation airport in west Texas. Expect density altitude to matter, especially in warm weather. The airport elevation is listed as 4,171 ft MSL in the remarks. Verify the current field data and any operating limits before arrival. For clearance delivery, contact Fort Worth ARTCC at 817-858-7584.
