SUNRAY (X43) sits in Sunray, Texas. Field elevation is 3,507 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the current facts, so the longest runway is unknown. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard light-piston reference unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. This is a high-elevation field, so expect thinner air and longer takeoff rolls than you would see at a lowland airport. The published remarks also show a lot of surface and obstacle issues around the field. Runway 17/35 has low-intensity solar lights. It also has hangars, parked vehicles, pipe supplies, gravel piles and other aircraft obstacles on the primary surface. There are road and utility obstructions near the runway ends, plus a gas well east of the south end of runway 02/20. The runway surface is described as rough with crops at the edge.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Plan on self-briefing from the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. For clearance delivery, contact Albuquerque ARTCC at 505-856-4861. If you are new to this field, treat it as a short-field and obstacle-avoidance problem first. Verify runway condition, lighting and any local operating notes before arrival.
