RWY 05

Converse County Airport sits near Douglas, Wyoming. Field elevation is 4,932.7 ft MSL. This is a two-runway field with the longest runway at 6,534 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

Runway 11/29 is the longest runway. It is asphalt. Runway 05/23 is 4,760 ft and is listed as gravel-dirt. The published pattern altitude is not given, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at 5,932.7 ft MSL based on the field elevation.

R&G Aircraft Service is on the field. Fuel grades are not reported in the facts, so confirm what is available with the FBO before you go. The published remarks also note after-hours 100LL fuel with a call-out fee. Lighting is worth planning for here. Runway end identifier lights are active on 11 and 29. Medium intensity runway lights serve both runways. They are preset low during dark hours. Use 122.8 to brighten them. Wildlife is reported on and near the airport, so expect a careful scan on taxi, takeoff and landing. Retro-reflective taxiway markers are installed. If you need clearance delivery and cannot reach Flight Service, contact Denver ARTCC at 303-651-4257.
