Taos Regional Airport sits in Taos, New Mexico at 7,094.6 ft MSL. It has two runways. Runway 13/31 is the longest at 8,600 ft. Runway 04/22 is 5,504 ft. The field is non-towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. 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 or local procedures say otherwise. That puts the light-aircraft pattern at about 8,095 ft MSL. This is a high-elevation airport, so expect performance to be a bigger factor than it is at lower fields. Watch density altitude closely, especially on warm days.
Taos Aviation Services is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. The published remarks also note wildlife in the area. Avoid overflight of Taos Pueblo World Heritage Site, which is 5 NM east of the airport. Runway lighting is published for both runways. PAPI is available on 04, 13, 22 and 31. If you need after-hours fuel help, the remarks list a phone number for that service. For clearance delivery when FSS is not available, contact Albuquerque ARTCC. Use the current Chart Supplement for any changes before you go.
