How to read

The top lane is always the active baseline (BASE + FM). Secondary lanes stack temporary and probabilistic deviations in the order they appear in the TAF.

Traffic pattern altitude: 7,352.4 ft MSL (1,000 AGL)
Control tower: Non-towered (use CTAF)

Raton Muni/Crews Fld (KRTN) sits in Raton, New Mexico at 6,352.4 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 7,615 ft on runway 02/20. This is an uncontrolled field. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

For pattern work, the published pattern altitude is not listed. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. KT Aero is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call them at (575) 445-3076 for current fuel or transient hangar questions. The airport manager can be reached at 575-707-2225.

A few published remarks matter for planning. Runway 02/20 has an unlighted stopway at both ends. PAPI is on runway 02. Medium intensity runway lights are on both runways and are activated by CTAF. From dusk to 2300, the lights and PAPI are preset to low intensity. Use CTAF to increase intensity. The field also has a compass rose on the ramp. Clearance delivery is handled through Albuquerque ARTCC at 505-856-4861. At 6,352 ft MSL, density altitude can be a real factor in summer. Expect performance planning to matter, especially if you are departing heavy or operating from the shorter 07/25 runway.
