Clayton Muni Airpark sits in Clayton, New Mexico. Field elevation is 4,969.8 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 02/20 at 6,307 ft. Runway 12/30 is 4,105 ft. 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 for light piston aircraft unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern about 5,970 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Runway lighting is pilot-controlled on 02/20 and 12/30. PAPI is available on 02 and 20. The field also has reflectors on all taxiways.
Clayton Municipal Airport is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Fuel is self-serve 24 hours a day with a major credit card. For clearance delivery, contact Albuquerque ARTCC. First-time pilots should pay attention to the elevation and the high-plains setting. Density altitude can build quickly here. Runway 02 has an 8-foot road near the departure end on both sides. The approach slope to the displaced threshold on 02 is 50 to 1 or greater. Check the current Chart Supplement for any other local restrictions before you go.
