Fort Stockton-Pecos County Airport sits in Fort Stockton, Texas. The field elevation is 3,011 ft MSL. It has five runways. The longest is runway 12/30 at 7,508 ft asphalt. This is a non-towered field. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.

The airport has one on-field FBO. Fort Stockton Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Twenty-four hour self-serve fuel is available. After hours, the published remarks say to call the FBO or use UNICOM for fuel and services.

The turf runways are rough. Runways 07/25, 11/29 and 16/34 are turf. The remarks also say runway 07/25 is not marked and has thorns. Runway 11/29 is not marked and has thorns. Runway 16 has trees and brush near the threshold on the approach side. Runway 12 has a fence close in on the left side near the threshold. Runway 30 is unusable beyond 8 degrees right of centerline. The medium-intensity lights on 03/21 and 12/30 start at low intensity. Use CTAF to increase them. The precision approach path indicators on 12 and 30 operate continuously. This is a high-elevation West Texas field. Expect density altitude to matter on warm days.
