KGAB is in Gabbs, Nevada. The field elevation is 4,699.3 ft MSL. It has two dirt runways. The longest is 5,950 ft on 09/27. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.
This is an unlighted airport. The beacon is out of service indefinitely. Runway 09 and 27 have reflective threshold and edge markers. Reflective rods are also placed 240 ft from the ends of 09, 27, 16 and 34. The published remarks say arrivals use runway 09. Departures use runway 27 when wind permits. They also note that jet activity occurs near the edge of the traffic pattern. That is worth keeping in mind on a first visit.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan fuel and services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go. CTAF is 122.9. For clearance delivery, contact Oakland ARTCC at 510-745-3380. The field has no line of sight between the 09/27 runway and 16/34. That matters for traffic scans and runway selection. If you are flying in at night or in marginal conditions, verify current lighting and operational status with the current FAA Chart Supplement before departure.
