Dixon Airport sits in Dixon, Wyoming. Field elevation is 6,548.9 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 06/24 is 7,000 ft long and asphalt. 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 has a 6-foot wildlife fence with gated, cattle guard entrances. Wildlife is still a factor on and near the airport. Winter snow banks can also line the runway.
Dixon Airport is a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 37 degrees Celsius. Terrain rises more than 500 feet about 9,700 feet from the airport reference point. That matters on departure planning, especially on a cold day with a heavy load. Runway 06 and 24 have medium intensity lighting. Runway 6 also has a PAPI. Both ends have runway end identifier lights.
Dixon Airport is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL. Fuel is available 24 hours with credit card service. Pilot supplied ropes are required for tie downs. For clearance delivery, contact Denver ARTCC. Use the current Chart Supplement for any additional local procedures before you go.
