Battle Mountain Airport (KBAM) sits in Battle Mountain, Nevada. Field elevation is 4,536.1 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. Runway 04/22 is 7,300 ft. Runway 13/31 is 7,299 ft, so 04/22 is the longest by a foot. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the usual pattern reference at about 5,536 ft MSL. The runway lighting setup is useful to know. Runway end identifier lights are active on 04 and 22. PAPI is installed on 04 and 22. Medium intensity runway lights are installed on both runways.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. FBO options vary. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival. You can also call the field on CTAF/UNICOM for current FBO availability. The published remarks also flag surface issues on 13/31. The pavement shows patching, cracking and weeds through cracks. Threshold markings on 13 and 31 are faded. Runway 04 and 22 numbers are also faded. This is a high-elevation field in open country, so expect density altitude to matter on warm days. Check the current Chart Supplement for any published local procedures before you go.
