RWY 03

Casper/Natrona County Intl sits in Casper, Wyoming at 5,344 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 03/21 at 10,165 ft. Runway 08/26 is 8,679 ft. The field is towered from 0500 to 2100. When the tower is closed, the airport still has published lighting procedures. The MALSR works for runway 03 and 08. The REIL works for runway 21. The PAPI works for runway 03 and 26. The HIRL works on both runways. Taxiway lights are on CTAF.

There is one ILS approach. It is for runway 03. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC gives you something different. The airport is in a high-elevation part of Wyoming, so performance planning matters. Expect density altitude to be a factor, especially on warm days.

Atlantic Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Aero Center is also on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. A 225-foot crane sits 1 NM northeast of the airport, so keep that in mind on arrival and departure. For clearance delivery, contact Casper Approach. If approach is closed, use Denver ARTCC. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any current operational notes before you go.
