City of Colorado Springs Muni sits in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The field elevation is 6,187 ft MSL. It has three runways. The longest is 13,500 ft on 17L/35R. Tower service is available 24 hours. Three ILS approaches are published for runway ends 17L, 35L and 35R.
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 7,187 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The airport sits in high terrain. Expect density altitude to matter. The field also has military activity. Some taxiway and runway sightlines are blocked from the tower in specific spots. Keep your head on a swivel during taxi.
On field FBOs are jetCenters of Colorado and Cutter Aviation. jetCenters of Colorado carries AVGAS 100LL, JET A and JET A PRIST. Cutter Aviation carries AVGAS 100LL and JET A PRIST. Published remarks also note 24 hour weather operations, lighted wind indicators on the runway approaches and customs service for military and civilian aircraft. Prior permission is required for all transient aircraft. Check with airfield management before arrival. If you are bringing a large aircraft, note the taxiway oversteer caution on A2, A3 and A4.
