Afton Lincoln County/General Boyd L Eddins Fld sits in Afton, Wyoming. The field elevation is 6,220.9 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 7,025 ft long with asphalt surface. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport is high elevation. Expect performance planning to matter. Cold weather is also a factor here. The published remarks say altitude correction is required at or below minus 18 degrees Celsius. Snowbanks can run 4 ft to 7 ft along runway and taxiway edges from November through April. Slick spots can be present on all surfaces.
Eagle Flight Services is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. 100LL is available 24 hours self-serve by credit card. Jet fuel is also available with callout. Runway 16 and 34 have runway end identifier lights. The runway lights are medium intensity on CTAF. PAPI operates continuously on both ends. Wildlife has been reported on and near the airport. Runway 34 PAPI does not provide obstacle clearance beyond 5 NM from the threshold. Pilot supplied ropes are required. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC before departure.
