RWY 21

Yoakum County Airport sits in Plains, Texas. Field elevation is 3,705 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. Runway 03/21 is the longest at 5,001 ft. Runway 17/35 is 3,924 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field is in west Texas at a fairly high elevation. That means density altitude can matter on warm days. Plan performance with that in mind.

Sandy Land UWCD is on the field. It carries 100LL. The fuel is self-serve. Runway lighting is available from dusk to dawn. The medium intensity lights on both runways start at low intensity. Key the CTAF to bring them up if needed. There is also a published obstruction note for runway 21. A berm sits left of the centerline near the threshold. Brush is also reported near the approach end. If you are new to the airport, brief that arrival carefully and check the current Chart Supplement before you go.
