Mesquite Metro Airport sits in Mesquite, Texas. Field elevation is 446.5 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 6,000 ft long with concrete pavement. The control tower is open from 0700 to 2100. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless local procedures or ATC say otherwise. The field sits under Lone Star approach control. When the tower is closed, clearance delivery is handled through Lone Star Approach. The runway lighting setup is worth a look before night ops. Medium intensity lights on 18/36 start at low intensity. You use the runway end identifier lights to bring up edge lights and increase intensity. PAPI for 18 and 36 is controlled by CTAF.
Mesquite Executive Air Center is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Self-serve 100LL is available 24 hours. Full service is available during attended hours. After hours service is available by phone and a call-in fee applies. Watch for brush near runway 18. The published obstruction is 15 ft high, 199 ft from the runway and 490 ft left of centerline. Birds, coyotes and wild hogs are reported in the area, so keep a sharp scan on arrival and departure.
