Ely/Yelland Fld sits in Ely, Nevada at 6,259.7 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 6,017 ft on 18/36. The field is non-towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless local procedures say otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern around 7,259.7 ft MSL. The airport sits high enough that density altitude can matter a lot on warm days. Plan performance with that in mind.
Ely Jet Center is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. The published remarks say 100LL is available after hours. The FBO phone number is 775-289-8804. It is closed Sundays. A call-out fee applies. Runway 18/36 has high intensity lighting. Runway 12/30 has medium intensity lighting. Runway 18 has REILs. Runways 12, 18 and 36 have PAPI. Glider traffic is active from May through September. Ultralights operate in daylight hours. Runway 12/30 is not available for aircraft over 30 passenger seats.
