Reno/Stead (KRTS) is in Reno, Nevada. The field elevation is 5,050.1 ft MSL. It has 2 asphalt runways. The longest is runway 14/32 at 9,000 ft. There is no control tower. NorCal Approach handles clearance delivery. Towered services are not part of the field.

The airport has 1 ILS approach. It serves runway 32. Pattern altitude is 5,850.1 ft MSL. That is 800 ft AGL. Aviation Classics is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Fuel is published as available 24 hours a day. The airport also has cold temperature correction requirements at or below minus 15 degrees Celsius. That matters here because the field already sits at high elevation.

There are a few operational items to plan around. Ranger helicopter work happens in the area. Balloon operations occur in the northwest quadrant. Tanker and fire activity can also show up during fire season. Runway 32 has approach lighting, high intensity runway lights and a PAPI that is on continuously. Runway 14 has REILs. The PAPI on runway 14 is out of service indefinitely. The PAPI on runway 08 is unusable beyond 5 degrees right of centerline. For a first visit, review the current Chart Supplement. Be ready for high-density performance planning at this elevation.
