KBAZ is in New Braunfels, Texas. Field elevation is 658.4 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 13/31 at 6,503 ft. Tower service is published from 0700 to 1900. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan with that in mind if the weather is marginal.
The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at about 1,658 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The airport is close to the San Antonio area, so expect busy training and transient traffic. Birds are reported in the vicinity. There is also a published note about a 50 to 1 approach ratio at the displaced threshold of runway 17, so pay attention on short final.
New Braunfels National Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A. 100LL is available 24 hours self-service. Call the FBO directly for full-service fuel or after-hours help. Runway lights on 13/31 and 17/35 are activated by CTAF. If the tower is closed, clearance delivery goes through San Antonio Approach. Check current procedures before departure.
