KALS is in Alamosa, Colorado. The field elevation is 7,539.8 ft MSL. It has one runway, 02/20, which is 8,521 ft long. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so verify the current traffic pattern in the FAA Chart Supplement before you go. One ILS approach is available to runway 02. The airport sits in a high-altitude valley, so performance planning matters. Density altitude can be a real factor here, especially on warm days.
Centric Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Published remarks say runway 02 has MALSR lighting. Runway 20 has REILs and a VASI. High intensity runway lighting is available on both ends. The airport also notes that conditions are unmonitored at night after the last aircraft arrival until 0600, so check NOTAMs before a late arrival. This is a cold temperature airport too. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 25 degrees Celsius. For clearance delivery, use Denver Center on frequency. If that is not available, use Flight Service through the remote communications outlet or call Denver Center directly. The airport is in the San Luis Valley, so expect high terrain awareness to be part of the brief.
