Wheeler Muni sits in Wheeler, Texas. The field elevation is 2,469.9 ft MSL. It has one runway, 17/35, which is 3,565 ft long on asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston aircraft unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway pavement has cracking with vegetation growing through. Low intensity runway lights for runway 17/35 are out of service. That matters if you are planning a night arrival.
The published remarks also note 10 ft of rising terrain 100 ft on both sides of the runway centerline. That is worth keeping in mind on takeoff and landing. The approach slope to the displaced threshold of runway 35 is 31 to 1. The airport manager is the Public Works Director. For clearance delivery, contact Albuquerque ARTCC at 505-856-4861. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so verify services with the airport operator before you go.
