Culberson County Airport sits near Van Horn, Texas. Field elevation is 3,956.8 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 6,005 ft on runway 03/21. Runway 07/25 is 5,353 ft. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the current Chart Supplement before you go. The field is in a high desert setting. Density altitude can be a real factor here, especially on warm days. Plan performance with that in mind. The published remarks also note brush near the ends of runway 21 and runway 03. That makes a careful taxi and landing scan worthwhile on those sides.
Lighting is available on both runways. The runway 03 and 21 PAPI is also published. For clearance delivery, Albuquerque ARTCC is listed in the remarks. Culberson County Aviation is on the field. Fuel grades are not reported in the facts, so call the FBO directly before arrival if you need fuel details. For 100LL, the published remarks give phone numbers for current fuel information. If you are new to the airport, review the current Chart Supplement before departure for any updates on procedures, lighting, or local operating notes.
