Sterling Muni is in Sterling, Colorado. The field elevation is 4,037.6 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 15/33 at 5,201 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Sterling Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call (970) 522-0417 for current service details.
A few operational notes matter here. Aerobatic operations occur on and near the airport. Runway 15 and 33 have runway end identifier lights. They also have medium intensity runway lights and PAPI, with lighting controlled on CTAF. Runway 04/22 has red and green reflectors at the ends. Runway 04/22 is soft and rough when wet. There are varmint holes near the runway 04 end. Runway 04 departure also has an 8 ft fence 155 ft from the departure end.
This is a high-elevation airport, so expect density altitude to matter on warm days. Intensive agricultural operations run from March through September. Be alert for student military training traffic in the region near KCOS and KPUB. For clearance delivery, contact Denver ARTCC.
