This is a high-elevation desert airport, so expect performance to feel different than at lower fields. Check density altitude before departure. Runway 11/29 has a published cracking issue with full-length lateral and longitudinal cracks wider than 4 inches. Use caution and inspect the runway condition in the current Chart Supplement before you go. Fuel is available from 0700 to 1800. After hours, call 775-482-3626 for overrun service.
