Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. For light piston traffic, use 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern around 6,045 ft MSL at this field. This is a high-elevation airport. Expect performance to be different from a lowland field. Density altitude can climb fast on warm days.

Cutter Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call (928) 443-9333 for current fuel and ramp details. Published remarks also note transient and overnight parking fees. They also note landing fees. Check with the FBO directly for current handling details. Fuel is available from 0600 to 2100. After-hours fuel needs prior permission. Self-service is limited to wingspans of 50 ft or less.

Voluntary noise abatement procedures are in effect. Contact the airport manager before you go if you need the local expectations. Runway 03L/21R is closed from 2200 to 0600. Field condition is unmonitored from 2200 to 0600. When the tower is closed, lighting is activated by CTAF. The airport sits in mountainous central Arizona. Plan for terrain and performance margins on departure and arrival.
