Laughlin/Bullhead Intl sits in Bullhead City, Arizona. Field elevation is 707.1 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 8,501 ft long. The tower is open 0800-1800. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude for light aircraft is 999 ft AGL. That puts the light-aircraft pattern at 1,706.1 ft MSL.
Touch & Go FBO is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. If you need fuel or ramp help, call them at (928) 754-3020 before you roll in. The published remarks also note that services and fuel are available from 0600 to 2200 on frequency 122.85. After hours, they are not available.
A few operational items matter here. Taxiway A5 between taxiway A and the general aviation apron is limited to wingspan less than 79 feet. The precision approach path indicator on runway 34 is unusable beyond 7 degrees right of centerline. There is also a 66 ft power line near runway 16, left of centerline and close to the departure end. Radar service below 6,000 ft is not available. Plan your arrival and departure with that in mind. The field has medium intensity runway lights on 16/34. Runway end identifier lights and PAPI are on both ends.
