Midland Airpark sits in Midland, Texas. Field elevation is 2,805.4 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 07/25 at 5,571 ft. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston aircraft unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. Basin Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Call (432) 685-7000 for current service details or after-hours fuel. The airport remarks also note that non-paved surface operations are prohibited without 24 hours prior permission. Seasonal bird activity is reported in the area.

Runway lighting is set to low intensity by default. Pilots can use the CTAF to increase intensity. They can also activate the VASI on runway 25 or the PAPI on runways 07, 16 and 34. The field has published approach and departure frequencies for Midland. If clearance delivery on 121.8 is out of service, contact Midland Approach. If approach is closed, contact Fort Worth ARTCC. For a first visit, plan for a busy West Texas environment with no ILS and a field elevation above 2,800 ft MSL. Check density altitude, especially in warm weather.
