Los Alamos Airport (KLAM) is in Los Alamos, New Mexico. The field elevation is 7,170.9 ft MSL. It has one runway, 09/27, which is 6,000 ft long. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts you at about 8,170.9 ft MSL. Los Alamos Avgas is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Fuel service is listed as available 24 hours with a major credit card. The airport also notes that runway 27 has runway end identifier lights and medium intensity runway lighting on 09/27 is CTAF controlled.
This is a high-elevation field, so performance planning matters. The published remarks also call out wildlife on and near the airport. There are obstacles near runway 09, including a blast barrier, a light pole and brush and trees close to the threshold. Runway 27 has a 1.5 percent upslope to the west. Radio contact is recommended before entering the pattern. Clearance delivery is handled through Albuquerque ARTCC. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any current restrictions. A restricted area lies south of the airport.
