KEKO is Elko RGNL in Elko, Nevada. The field elevation is 5,139.8 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 06/24 at 7,454 ft. Runway 12/30 is 3,015 ft. There is no control tower, so expect CTAF and UNICOM self-announce traffic. Both are listed at 123.0. The published pattern altitude is not given, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.

Runway 24 has an ILS. The runway 24 precision approach path indicator does not provide obstruction clearance beyond 6.5 NM from the threshold. The field also has medium intensity approach lighting with runway alignment indicator lights for 24. Runway lights on 06 and 24 are CTAF-controlled. PAPI for 06 and 24 is on continuously. Mountain West Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Fuel is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

This is a high-elevation airport, so density altitude matters. Surface conditions are not maintained daily between 0500 and 1400 Zulu. Bird activity is increased from March through September. Runway 30 has a steep upward slope. Runway 12/30 is not available for certain large passenger operations. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any local restrictions before you go.
