SAMSARG FLD is in Fernley, Nevada. The field elevation is 4,346 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 15/33 at 3,974 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. This is a VFR-only field per the published remarks. The airport is at higher elevation, so expect thinner performance than a low desert strip. Runway 05/23 has a 4 percent west gradient. That matters on takeoff and landing. Runway 15/33 also has published surface issues near the edge, plus a fence close to the threshold of runway 33.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current services. The published remarks also say horses and cattle are often nearby. Remote model aircraft operations are frequent. Radio calls are encouraged. Helicopter training is limited to the paved runway ends. For clearance delivery, contact NorCal Approach. If you are planning a first arrival, review the current Chart Supplement for any operational notes before departure.
