General notes
- Paja and waterfowl are on and in the vicinity of the airport.Show FAA
- Traffic pattern altitude for runways 08/26 is 1012 feet above ground level.Show FAA
- Midfield pattern entry from the south is for glider use only.Show FAA
- A noise abatement procedure is in effect. Contact the airport manager or visit http://www.bouldercolorado.gov/airport.Show FAA
- Simultaneous approach and departure from runways 8/26 and 8G/26G is not authorized. Powered aircraft must yield to gliders on final approach or initiate a go-around for adequate spacing.Show FAA
- There are 25 to 55 foot trees outlining Hayden Lake 200 feet from the threshold of runway 08G and Hayden Lake 250 feet from the thresholds of runways 8 and 8G.Show FAA
- Glider activity occurs daily from sunrise to sunset southeast of the airport between the airport and the power plant from 6300 to 9000 feet. Avoidance is recommended and exercise extreme caution when transiting the area.Show FAA
- Simultaneous runway operations on runways 8/26 and 8G/26G are prohibited.Show FAA
- For clearance delivery contact Denver Approach at 303-342-1916.Show FAA
Lighting notes
- The PAPI on runway 26 and the medium intensity runway lights on runways 8/26 are activated by CTAF.Show FAA

Runway surface & condition
- 08/26Glider operations occur 60 feet parallel to the runway.Show FAA
- 08G/26GThe landing area is undefined. Glider operations only. There is 197 foot separation from centerline to centerline.Show FAA
- 08G/26GRunway 08G/26G is 3000 feet by 20 feet chip and seal with a 1100 foot grass east end.Show FAA
Approach & departure obstructions
- 26During west wind exposure, severe turbulence occurs. The 300 foot safety area is outlined with red reflectors. There is a 130 foot dropoff east of the marked area.Show FAA
- 08Departure turns below 512 feet are not authorized. Trees 40 to 60 feet tall result in a 27 degree obstacle clearance slope to the departure threshold. Runway 08 is the calm wind runway.Show FAA
- 08Runway 08 has a 10 foot tree located 277 feet from the runway, 14 feet right. The approach slope is 47 to 1 displaced threshold.Show FAA

Boulder Muni sits in Boulder, Colorado at 5,288 ft MSL. It has two runways. Both are 4,100 ft long. The airport is non-towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.725. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude for runways 08/26 is 6,300 ft MSL, which is 1,012 ft AGL.
Journeys Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. 100LL self-serve fuel is available 24 hours a day. That helps on late arrivals. The runway lighting and the PAPI on runway 26 are activated by CTAF.
This is a high-elevation field, so performance planning matters. The published remarks also call out noise abatement procedures. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. Glider activity is a real factor here. Powered aircraft must yield to gliders on final or go around for spacing. Midfield pattern entry from the south is for glider use only. Runway 08 has a displaced threshold. There is a tree near the approach. Departure turns below 512 ft are not authorized. Runway 26 can see severe turbulence in west wind exposure. Use the published pattern and keep a close eye out for gliders and terrain near the field.
