- For clearance delivery, if unable to contact on the flight service station frequency, contact Houston ARTCC at 281-230-5622.Show FAA
Lighting notes
- The medium intensity approach lighting system is active on runway 31. Runway end identifier lights are on runway 13. Precision approach path indicators are on runways 17 and 35 and are controlled by the common traffic advisory frequency. Medium intensity runway lights on runways 13/31 and 17/35 are preset to low intensity from dusk to 2300. To increase intensity or activate after 2300, use the common traffic advisory frequency.Show FAA

Alice Intl sits in Alice, Texas. Field elevation is 178.2 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 13/31 at 5,997 ft. This is an uncontrolled field with no tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. The published ILS serves runway 31. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
KALI Aviation is on the field. It carries JET A and JET A Prist. 100LL is available 24 hours at the self-service pump. After hours service is available by calling the field number. Runway lighting details matter here. Runway 31 has medium intensity approach lighting. Runway 13 has runway end identifier lights. Runways 17 and 35 have PAPI. The runway lights are preset to low intensity from dusk to 2300. Use CTAF to raise intensity or activate lights after 2300.
For a first-time arrival, the main things to plan for are the uncontrolled pattern, the published ILS to 31 and the lighting setup after dark. Clearance delivery notes point pilots to Houston ARTCC if Flight Service cannot be reached. The airport sits at low elevation in South Texas, so density altitude is usually less of a concern than at high fields. Still, check the current weather and performance before you go.
