Sierra Vista Muni-Libby AAF sits at Fort Huachuca near Sierra Vista, Arizona. Field elevation is 4,718.8 ft MSL. The airport has three runways. The longest is 08/26 at 12,001 ft. The tower is open 0600Z Monday through 0600Z Saturday except holidays. Other times are by NOTAM. One ILS approach is published for runway 26.

Pattern altitude is not published for normal fixed-wing traffic in the facts provided. For fixed-wing unmanned operations, the published traffic pattern altitude is 981 ft AGL. The field is a joint-use military airport. Expect coordination needs that are not typical at a civilian strip. Published remarks say parking is military transient. Sign in at base operations before leaving the flight line. Transient aircraft should contact base operations to coordinate parking.

On-field fuel is available from Sierra Vista Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. The airport remarks also call out wind shear on all runways. The southwest wind at the field may not match what you see on final. That matters here because the airport sits at high elevation in southern Arizona. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement and coordinate with the airport operator or base operations before arrival if you need parking, access, or after-hours details.
