Sonora Muni is in Sonora, Texas. The field elevation is 2,139.9 ft MSL. It has one runway, 18/36, which is 4,037 ft long. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published, so use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the normal pattern reference at about 3,140 ft MSL. The runway is asphalt. Magnetic variation is 8°, so runway headings are published as 190° for 18 and 10° for 36.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator or the field on CTAF for current services before you go. Published remarks note nonstandard solar lights on runway 18/36 from dusk to dawn. The runway end identifier lights and PAPI on both ends are activated via CTAF. Runway markings on both ends are faded. The field also has several close-in obstructions on both approaches, including fences, brush, a road, a tree and a pole. This is a high-elevation airport in west-central Texas. Performance planning matters on warm days. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any updated operational notes before departure.
