Fort Sumner Muni sits in Fort Sumner, New Mexico at 4,164.7 ft MSL. The field has two asphalt runways. Runway 03/21 is the longest at 5,800 ft. Runway 08/26 is 5,250 ft. This is a non-towered airport. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless local guidance says otherwise. That puts the pattern about 5,165 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The published remarks call out brush near several runway ends. That matters on short final and during rollout. Runway lighting is pilot-activated on CTAF. Runway 08/26 lights are medium intensity from dusk to dawn. Runway 03/21 lights are preset to low intensity until 2200. After 2200, activate them on CTAF.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Plan on self-briefing the field and calling ahead if you need local help. After hours, the published contact number is 575-355-2405. For clearance delivery, contact Albuquerque ARTCC at 505-856-4861. This is a high-elevation New Mexico airport, so expect density altitude to matter, especially on warm days.
