Grant County Airport sits in Silver City, New Mexico. The field elevation is 5,445.6 ft MSL. It has four runways. The longest is runway 08/26 at 6,803 ft. There is no control tower, so plan on CTAF and UNICOM 122.8 for local traffic. The airport has one ILS approach to runway 26. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Grant County Airport is high enough that density altitude can matter on warm days. Performance planning should be part of the brief. The on-field FBO is Grant County Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call (575) 388-4554 for current service status before you go. Published remarks also note that runway 26 has medium intensity approach lighting with sequenced flashing lights. Runway 08 has runway end identifier lights. Runway lights on 08 and 26 are tied to CTAF control. A crane is published northeast of the airport on the runway 26 centerline, so keep that in mind on arrival and departure. Taxiways A2, A3 and A4 are unusable for aircraft with a cockpit to main gear length over 40 ft.
