Roswell Air Center is in Roswell, New Mexico. Field elevation is 3,671 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is runway 03/21 at 13,000 ft. The tower is open daily from 0600 to 2100. An ILS is available on runway 21, which is the runway to plan for if you need precision guidance.
Pattern altitude is not published for this field. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the common pattern reference at 4,671 ft MSL. Avflight Roswell is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. After hours, use the lighted pedestrian gate to exit the ramp and FBO area. Call the posted number before you go if you need access or 100LL after hours.
The field sits in controlled airspace with a busy towered environment. Expect to work the tower during published hours. Runway lighting is mixed, so pay attention to which lights are tower-controlled. Other lights are tied to CTAF. Birds are reported on and near the airport, so keep that in mind on departure and arrival. If you need clearance delivery and cannot reach flight service, contact Albuquerque ARTCC using the number in the Chart Supplement.
