Gatesville Muni sits in Gatesville, Texas. The field elevation is 905 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 3,400 ft of asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at 1,905 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Verify before you go if you are flying anything unusual.
The on-field FBO is Gatesville Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL. Self-serve 100LL is available 24 hours. At dusk to dawn, the runway lights on 17/35 are preset to low intensity. Use the CTAF to increase intensity when needed.
A few operational items matter here. Rising ground sits off the departure end of runway 35, close in and to the right. Low-flying military jets and helicopters are also reported in the area. For clearance delivery, contact Fort Worth ARTCC. If you are planning a first stop here, brief the lighting. Brief the terrain near 35. Brief the lack of published ILS before arrival.
