Silver Springs Airport (KSPZ) sits in Silver Springs, Nevada. Field elevation is 4,265.2 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 06/24, which is 6,001 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Runway end identifier lights are active on 06 and 24. Precision approach path indicators are installed on both ends. Medium intensity runway lights are also installed on runway 06/24. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 5,265.2 ft MSL.
Silver Springs Airport is a high-elevation field, so performance planning matters. Expect density altitude to be a real factor on warm days. The pavement classification number for runway 06/24 is 100/F/D/X/T. There is a 150 by 150 ft blast pad at both ends. Clearance delivery is handled through NorCal Approach at 916-361-0596. On field, Silver Springs Airport carries AVGAS 100LL and Jet A. If you are arriving for the first time, verify current procedures with the airport operator or the FBO directly before launch.
