Rifle Garfield County Airport sits in Rifle, Colorado. The field elevation is 5,536.8 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 08/26 is 7,000 ft long. There is no control tower, so pilots should plan for non-towered procedures and use CTAF 122.8 before entering the runway or traffic pattern. The published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
An ILS is published for runway 26. Runway lighting is set up for night work. The airport has omnidirectional approach lighting for runway 26. Runway end identifier lights serve runway 08. High intensity runway lights are available for both runway ends. PAPI is on continuously for runways 08 and 26. Atlantic Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Airport operations are listed as 24 hours.
This is a high-elevation field in western Colorado. Expect performance to change with density altitude, especially on warm days. The published remarks also call out glider activity in the area. Another note is that after winter snow storms, airport operations may begin before all taxiways are fully cleared. A saturated pattern policy is in place. Touch-and-go landings are prohibited when five or more aircraft are in the pattern. IFR clearance from Rifle is not takeoff or landing authorization. Use the CTAF and follow non-towered airport procedures.
