River Falls is in Amarillo, Texas. Field elevation is 3,585 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 17/35 at 6,015 ft asphalt. Runway 04/22 is 3,200 ft turf. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.725.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts you at 4,585 ft MSL on a normal pattern day.
Redline Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Max FBO is also on the field. Fuel grades are not reported for Max, so call ahead if you need a specific product. Published remarks matter here. Runway 17 has a displaced threshold marked 415 ft from the end. The day length is 6,015 ft. Night length is 5,000 ft. There is also an 8 ft fence near the threshold. For runway 17 lighting, activate the medium intensity lights on CTAF with slow microphone clicks. Clearance delivery is handled through Albuquerque ARTCC. This is a high-elevation field in the Texas Panhandle. Performance planning matters.
