RWY 35

Questa Muni Nr 2 sits in Questa, New Mexico. The field elevation is 7,689.6 ft MSL. It has one runway, 17/35, which is 6,861 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use standard traffic pattern practice for light piston aircraft unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

Runway 17 is the calm wind runway. The runway lights are medium intensity. REIL and PAPI are published on both ends. The runway numbers and centerline are faded or missing on both 17 and 35, so plan for a careful visual setup on arrival and departure. Brush is reported near runway 17 from the threshold area out to 200 ft, about 80 ft left and right of the runway. Elk are also reported on and near the airport. Mountains are southwest and east, so terrain awareness matters here, especially with the high field elevation.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need fuel or ramp details. For clearance delivery, the Chart Supplement says to contact Denver ARTCC. CTAF is 122.9. The lighting note also lists common traffic advisory frequency as 123.6. Verify the current frequency in the Chart Supplement before flight.
