RWY 09

Perry Stokes is in Trinidad, Colorado. The field elevation is 5,761.6 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 5,500 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.

The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston aircraft unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Pinnacle Jet Center is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call (719) 680-7831 before arrival if you need current service details.

Runway 03/21 has runway end identifier lights, PAPI and medium intensity runway lighting. The lighting is controlled on CTAF. Prior permission is required. Published remarks also call out trees near the 09 threshold and small bushes and posts near the runway end. Runway 09/27 has bushes along the edge, soft spots when wet and prairie dog holes through the runway. That makes a careful preflight and a current surface check important. There is also military student training traffic in the Colorado Springs and Pueblo area. Expect a busy scan if you are operating in that region.
