Edwards County Airport is in Rocksprings, Texas. The field elevation is 2,372.2 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 14/32 is 4,050 ft long with an asphalt surface. The airport is non-towered, so expect self-announce traffic on CTAF 122.9 unless ATC gives you other instructions.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. Runway 14 has displaced threshold lighting at night. The threshold is 288 ft from the runway end. Runway 14 and Runway 32 markings are faded. There is also a gravel pit on the west side with dirt piles close to the runway. Runway 14 has a marked fence near the end. Trees on the approach side affect the threshold clearance path.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF/UNICOM for current FBO availability. For clearance delivery, contact Laughlin Approach at 830-298-5192. When Approach is closed, contact Houston ARTCC at 281-230-5622. This airport sits at higher elevation, so performance planning matters on warm Texas days. Check density altitude, runway length and your takeoff numbers before you go.
