Angel Fire Airport sits in Angel Fire, New Mexico. The field elevation is 8,379.5 ft MSL. It has one runway, 17/35, which is 8,900 ft long and paved. 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 unless local procedures or current chart data say otherwise. The airport is in a mountain valley with rising terrain in all directions. Expect high density altitude. Strong gusty crosswinds are possible. That matters here more than at a low-elevation strip.
Angel Fire Airport is on the field. It carries Jet A and 100LL. Published remarks say 24-hour self-serve fuel is available with a major credit card. The runway lights and runway end identifier lights are activated on CTAF. The PAPI for runway 17 is on continuously. There is a six to eight inch drop-off at the threshold of runway 17. Avoid overflight of Taos Pueblo World Heritage Site west of the airport. For clearance delivery, contact Albuquerque ARTCC at 505-856-4861. If you are planning a winter arrival, note that this is a cold temperature airport and altitude correction is required at or below minus 29 degrees Celsius.
