RWY 01

Central Wyoming Rgnl is in Riverton, Wyoming. The field elevation is 5,516 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 10/28 at 8,204 ft. There is no control tower, so expect CTAF and UNICOM self-announce traffic. The published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless local procedures or NOTAMs say otherwise.

Runway 28 has the published ILS. That is the main precision option here. Runway 10/28 also has high intensity lighting. Runway 01/19 has medium intensity lighting. PAPI is published on all four runway ends. The airport sits at a high elevation, so performance planning matters. Density altitude can be a real factor in warm weather.

Classic Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. For after-hours service, the published remarks say to call them at the listed phone number. General aviation aircraft are not authorized on the west ramp. There is also a note that conditions are not monitored at night after the last aircraft arrival until 0500 local. Check NOTAMs before departure. If you are bringing a large aircraft, prior permission is required for unscheduled operations with more than 30 passenger seats.
