RWY 24

Cuba Landing Strip sits in Cuba, New Mexico. The field elevation is 6,840 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 06/24 is 4,137 ft long and is dirt. The airport is uncontrolled. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

This is a high-elevation strip. Expect performance to be different than you are used to at lower fields. The published remarks also call out scattered rock and ruts on the runway from vehicle traffic. There is also an obstruction near runway 06 that exceeds a 45 degree slope. Livestock, elk and deer may be on or near the airport, so keep a sharp lookout on arrival and departure.

No on-field FBOs are listed. Plan on self-sufficiency and verify current field status with the airport operator before you go. Use the common traffic advisory frequency within 5 nautical miles of the airport. For a first trip, the main things to brief are the dirt surface, the high density altitude risk, the wildlife and the runway condition near 06.
