Portales Muni sits in Portales, New Mexico. The field elevation is 4,077.8 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 5,700 ft on 01/19. The other runway is 08/26 at 4,560 ft. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits in eastern New Mexico, so density altitude can matter on warm days. That is worth planning for when you look at takeoff roll and climb performance.
The on-field FBO is Portales Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Fuel is available 24 hours self-serve by credit card. Published remarks also note that the PAPI is out of service indefinitely on runway 19. The same issue is listed for runway 26. If you are planning a night arrival or a stabilized visual approach, verify the lighting setup before you go.
Runway light intensity is controlled on CTAF. The medium intensity runway lights on 01/19 and 08/26 are preset to low intensity. For clearance delivery, contact Albuquerque ARTCC. If you need after-hours help or weekend service, call ahead before arrival. Hangar space also requires advance coordination.
