Central Colorado Rgnl Airport is in Buena Vista, Colorado. Field elevation is 7,950.4 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 15/33 is 8,303 ft long with asphalt pavement. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 122.8 for self-announce traffic. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
There are no published ILS approaches here. The on-field FBO is Central Colorado Regional Airport. It carries AVGAS 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. For after-hours service, call the field at 719-395-3496. The airport sits at high elevation, so performance planning matters. This is also a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 21 degrees Celsius.
A few published remarks matter on arrival. Deer are on and near the airport. Runway 15 has a tree 25 ft high about 765 ft from the threshold, 275 degrees right of centerline. The PAPI on runway 33 is unusable beyond 9 degrees left of course. Taxiways use blue and yellow reflectors. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any updated operational notes before you go.
