Marfa Muni sits in Marfa, Texas. Field elevation is 4,848.8 ft MSL. The airport has three runways. The longest is runway 13/31 at 6,203 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the normal pattern about 5,849 ft MSL. The field is in a high-desert setting, so density altitude will matter on warm days. Glider operations are on and in the vicinity of the airport. Wildlife is also reported nearby.
Marfa Municipal Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet-A. Self-serve fuel is available 24 hours. The published remarks also say the landing fee is waived with a minimum fuel purchase. Runway 13/31 has medium intensity lights that start at low intensity. Key the CTAF to increase them. Be careful with runway 04/22. The parallel taxiway beside it is closed except between taxiway A and runway 13/31. Taxiway A northwest of runway 04/22 is closed to aircraft over 18,000 pounds. There is also a 12 ft tree 24 ft right of the runway 04 threshold area. Check the current Chart Supplement before you go. This field also has a lighted water tower southwest of the airport reference point.
