RWY 27

Cheyenne Rgnl/Jerry Olson Fld sits in Cheyenne, Wyoming at 6,159.9 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 09/27 at 9,270 ft. Runway 13/31 is 6,690 ft. The tower is open 0600-2200. There is one ILS approach. It serves runway 27. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the current FAA Chart Supplement before you fly. This is a high-elevation field, so performance planning matters. Expect thinner air and longer takeoff rolls than you would at a low field.

Legend AeroServe is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL and Jet A Prist. After-hours fuel is available by calling the number in the Chart Supplement or the FBO directly. Published remarks also note bird activity in the area. Heavy helicopter traffic occurs 2 NM southwest of the airport from the surface to 1,000 ft during daylight hours on weekdays. Transient aircraft need prior permission at least 72 hours before arrival. Prior permission is also required to park on the military ramp. If you are headed in with a large aircraft or a military mission, check the current FAA Chart Supplement and coordinate with the airport operator before departure.
