Magdalena Airport sits in Magdalena, New Mexico. Field elevation is 6,729.5 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 02/20 is 5,762 ft long with a gravel-dirt surface. The published runway headings are magnetic 31° and 211°. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. For this field, that puts the pattern at 7,729.5 ft MSL.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts, so plan to verify services before departure. Clearance delivery is handled through Albuquerque ARTCC at 505-856-4861. Published remarks also note reflective boundary markings on both runway ends. Runway 02 has a fence about 300 ft from the threshold. The runway surface is treated with flyash. A private turf strip sits about 600 ft west, so keep a sharp scan on departure and arrival. The high elevation means performance planning matters here. Density altitude can climb fast on warm days, so build in margin for takeoff and climb.
