Boulder City Muni sits in Boulder City, Nevada. The field elevation is 2,203.1 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 09/27 at 5,103 ft. This is a non-towered airport, so expect self-announced traffic on CTAF 122.7. No ILS approaches are published here. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.
The field sits in southern Nevada, so density altitude can be a real factor in warm weather. Runway 33 has a steep gradient with rising terrain and obstacles off the departure end. Uphill departures on runway 33 are not recommended. Runways 15/33 also have no runup area. Use taxiway D or taxiway A for runup. There is also ultralight activity about 2 miles southwest near the dry lake bed. A skydive drop zone is adjacent to the airport on the northeast side.
On the field, Boulder City Aviation Services carries 100LL and Jet A. B.F.E. also carries 100LL and Jet A. Self-serve 100LL and Jet A are available 24 hours a day with credit card. For ATC help, Las Vegas Approach is the published approach control. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any local restrictions before you go.
