West Desert Airpark (UT9) sits near Fairfield, Utah. The field elevation is 4,886 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 5,200 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston aircraft unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 5,886 ft MSL. Check the current Chart Supplement for any published noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field. Published remarks also say touch-and-go landings are limited. Landing fees are in effect for all aircraft.
The airport sits in a high-elevation area. Expect performance to reflect the altitude. The published remarks also call out bird activity, training traffic, reduced taxiway and taxilane width and a firework facility west of the runway. Runway 17 straight-in landings are prohibited. Runway 17 is preferred for calm winds. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival. Call the field on CTAF or UNICOM for current FBO availability. The manager can also be reached at 801-580-5688.
