Curtis Fld sits in Brady, Texas at 1,827.4 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 17/35 at 4,605 ft asphalt. Runway 08/26 is turf at 3,520 ft. The west 1,240 ft is closed. That leaves 2,280 ft available. 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 for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field is in a high enough elevation band that performance planning matters on warm days. Deer are reported on and near the airport. Keep a sharp scan on taxi, takeoff and landing.
The on-field FBO is Brady Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. For clearance delivery, Houston ARTCC is listed in the remarks. Runway 17/35 has medium intensity lights that you activate from CTAF from dusk to dawn. If you are new to the field, verify current airport details with the airport operator or the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
