Las Cruces Intl is in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The field elevation is 4,456.9 ft MSL. It has three runways. The longest is runway 12/30 at 7,506 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7.
One ILS approach is published for runway 30. Runway 30 is also the calm wind runway. The pattern altitude is not published, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern around 5,457 ft MSL.
Francis Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Southwest Aviation is also on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Frost Aviation Services is on the field too. It carries 100LL.
The lighting setup is worth a look before arrival. Runway 30 has medium intensity approach lights with runway alignment indicator lights. Runway 12/30 has high intensity runway lights. Runway 08/26 uses preset low intensity lights that can be increased on CTAF. Runway 22 has visual approach slope indicators that stay on continuously. Birds are reported on and near the airport from September through March. UAS training also takes place on the airport. The field sits at elevation in southern New Mexico, so density altitude can be a factor on warm days. Check performance before departure.
