RWY 17

Winston Field sits in Snyder, Texas. The field elevation is 2,430.3 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 17/35 at 5,599 ft. Runway 08/26 is 4,200 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Winston Field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Call (325) 573-1122 for current service details.

A few published remarks matter for planning. Runway 17/35 lights sit at low intensity from dusk to dawn. Use CTAF to increase intensity and to activate the PAPI on runways 17 and 35. Runway 08 has an 8-foot fence near the approach side. The approach slope to runway 08 is 21 to 1 to the runway end. Aircraft on runway 8/26 are not visible from the opposite end, so keep your situational awareness tight on the ground. This is a higher-elevation Texas field, so expect density altitude to matter on warm days. Check the current Chart Supplement for any updated remarks before you go.
