Carson City Airport sits in Carson City, Nevada. The field elevation is 4,704.4 ft MSL. It has one runway, 09/27, which is 6,101 ft long. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. For clearance delivery, contact NorCal Approach. The published frequencies include CTAF and UNICOM on 123.0. The airport also has NorCal approach and departure frequencies on 119.2 and 279.55. Runway 27 is the preferred calm wind runway. The field is a cold temperature airport, so altitude correction is required at or below minus 18 degrees Celsius.
On the field, Mountain West Aviation carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Stellar Aviation of Carson-Tahoe carries 100LL and Jet A. Runway end identifier lights are installed on 09 and 27. Medium intensity runway lights are controlled by CTAF. PAPI is continuously operating on both ends. The published remarks note limits on visual glide slope indicator use at night. Expect mixed traffic too. The remarks also mention unmanned aircraft systems, ultralight and glider activity in and near the airport area.
