Gallup Muni sits in Gallup, New Mexico at 6,472.6 ft MSL. It has one runway, 06/24, which is 7,312 ft long. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.95. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

The field has one ILS approach to runway 06. Runway 24 is the calm wind runway. Medium intensity runway lights are on 06 and 24. They are controlled on CTAF. Runway 24 also has runway end identifier lights. That helps at night or in low visibility.

KT Aero is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Self-service fuel is available 24 hours with a credit card. After-hours fuel call-out fees apply, so call ahead if you plan a late arrival. At this elevation, expect performance to be different from a lowland field. Density altitude can be a factor, especially on warm days. Check your takeoff numbers carefully. If you need clearance delivery and cannot reach Flight Service, the published contact is Albuquerque ARTCC. For any current operational detail, call the airport operator or the FBO directly before departure.
