Durango-La Plata County Airport is in Durango, Colorado. The field elevation is 6,689.4 ft MSL. It has one runway, 03/21, which is 9,201 ft long. There is no control tower, so expect CTAF and UNICOM on 122.8. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL unless current NOTAMs or the Chart Supplement say otherwise.
Runway 03 has an ILS approach. The airport also has medium intensity approach lighting with runway alignment indicator lights on 03, runway end identifier lights on 21 and high intensity runway lights on both ends. PAPI is published for both runway ends. Lighting intensity is adjusted on CTAF.
Avflight Durango is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. This is a high-elevation airport, so performance planning matters. Expect thinner air and longer takeoff rolls than you would at lower fields. The published remarks also say the airport condition is unmonitored at night after the last arrival until 0400. Check NOTAMs before a late arrival. There is also a landing fee. Verify the current details with the airport operator or the FBO directly before you go.
