MAJOR SAMUEL B CORNELIUS FLD sits in Spearman, Texas. The field elevation is 3,090 ft MSL. It has one runway, 02/20, which is 5,022 ft long with asphalt pavement. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement or local procedures say otherwise. The on-field FBO is Cornelius Field. It carries 100LL. Call ahead before you go. The published remarks also say runway lighting on 02/20 is preset to low intensity. Use 122.9 to raise the lights and activate the PAPI. The runway environment has several reported lighting issues, so verify status before night work. Runway pavement also has numerous cracks. Markings on both ends are reported as faded. There is no line of sight between runway ends, so keep your scan tight in the pattern.
This is a non-towered field with a single runway and no published ILS. For clearance delivery, the published contact is Albuquerque ARTCC. The airport sits in the Texas Panhandle, so expect a wide-open, rural arrival with limited visual cues near the field. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any changes before you fly in.
