Tucumcari Muni sits in Tucumcari, New Mexico at 4,064.9 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 03/21 at 7,104 ft. Runway 08/26 is 4,600 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.95.
No ILS approaches are published here. The field uses a standard pattern altitude of 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic. That puts the pattern at about 5,065 ft MSL. Runway 21 has a visual approach slope indicator. Medium intensity runway lights are activated on CTAF for both runways.
The on-field FBO is Tucumcari Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. After hours, fuel is self-service with credit card. The airport is closed on federal holidays. If you need current availability, call the airport manager before you go. For clearance delivery, if you cannot raise Flight Service, Albuquerque ARTCC is listed as a backup contact.
This is a high-elevation New Mexico field. Expect thinner air than you get at lowland airports. Takeoff and climb performance deserve a careful look, especially on warm days. Runway 03/21 gives you the longest pavement. That is the one most crews will want to plan around when weight or density altitude is a factor.
