Tailwheel Acres sits in Valley View, Texas. Field elevation is 679 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 2,450 ft of turf, so plan for soft-field performance and keep your rollout and braking expectations conservative. No control tower is published. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at about 1,679 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Verify the published pattern before you go. The runway is marked with 3 ft white cones along both sides. Published remarks also note a 5 ft farm fence across the approach to runway 18. There are 20 ft trees 44 ft from that end as well. That makes the 18 end the one to study closely on arrival and departure.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need local support. For clearance delivery, Fort Worth ARTCC is listed in the remarks. If you are planning a first visit, brief the turf surface, the approach obstructions and the lack of published instrument approaches before you launch.
