Gunnison-Crested Butte Rgnl sits in Gunnison, Colorado at 7,679.6 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 06/24 at 9,400 ft. The airport is not towered, so expect self-announce traffic on CTAF 122.7. One ILS is published for runway 06. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Avflight Gunnison is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. The airport is a high-elevation field with high terrain in all quadrants. That matters on climb performance and on arrival planning. The published remarks also call out cold temperature correction at or below minus 25 C. Check performance numbers carefully in winter.
Runway 06/24 has lighting notes that matter at night. MALSR is on 06. PAPI on 06 and 24 is controlled by CTAF. REIL is on 24. The high intensity runway lights on 06/24 operate from 0600 to 2230. Airport conditions are unmonitored at night from the last arrival or departure until 0530 local. Check NOTAMs before a late arrival. Runway 17/35 is closed from December 1 through May 1.
