CAVERN CITY AIR TRML is in Carlsbad, New Mexico. The field elevation is 3,294.6 ft MSL. It has four asphalt runways. The longest is runway 03/21 at 7,854 ft. There is no control tower, so plan on CTAF and UNICOM 123.0 for local traffic calls.
Runway 03 has the only published ILS approach. The pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits in southeastern New Mexico, so density altitude can be a real factor in warm weather. That matters here because you are already starting from a higher field elevation.
Chandler Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. After-hours 100LL is available by phone at (575) 887-1500. The published remarks also note that runway surface condition is not monitored during certain overnight and weekend windows, so check current conditions before you go. Runway 14L/32R is not available for certain large passenger operations. The airport also has runway lighting and approach lighting on runway 03, with intensity controlled on CTAF.
