Panhandle-Carson County Airport (T45) sits in Panhandle, Texas. The field elevation is 3,453.7 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 4,404 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower, so expect non-towered ops on CTAF 122.7 or UNICOM 122.7.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits in the Texas Panhandle. Density altitude can matter here because of the elevation. Plan performance with that in mind.
Published remarks note medium intensity runway lights on 17/35. They are preset to low intensity. If you need more light, activate them on 123.5. There is also a 15-foot road obstruction near runway 35, 210 feet left of the centerline and within 0 to 199 feet of the threshold area. That is worth checking on final and in your takeoff planning.
No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF or UNICOM for current FBO availability. For clearance delivery, contact Albuquerque ARTCC at 505-856-4861.
