Hale County Airport sits in Plainview, Texas. The field elevation is 3,374 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 04/22 at 5,997 ft. Runway 13/31 is 4,000 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the usual pattern reference at 4,374 ft MSL. The airport sits in open country at a higher elevation, so density altitude can matter on warm days. Plan performance with that in mind.
Tradewind Aviation is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Runway 04/22 has reported cracking along the full length. The published remarks also note a grain elevator near runway end 22. Runway lights are medium intensity on both runways from sunset to sunrise. They start at low intensity. Use CTAF to increase intensity on runway 04 and to activate the runway end identifier lights. The VASI on runway 22 is controlled by CTAF. The airport is unattended on Thanksgiving and Christmas. For clearance delivery issues, Fort Worth ARTCC is listed as a backup contact.
