Vernal Rgnl sits in Vernal, Utah. Field elevation is 5,274.2 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 7,000 ft asphalt. It is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan with the current chart and weather in mind.
The published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local procedures or the current Chart Supplement say otherwise. The field has two on-field FBOs. Dinaland Aviation carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Classic Aviation carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. If you need after-hours help, the published remarks say to call 435-789-8494 or 435-261-9000.
A few operational items matter here. Runway end identifier lights are installed on 17 and 35. Medium intensity runway lights are controlled by CTAF. PAPI is on continuously for both ends. The airport sits at high elevation. That means takeoff and climb performance deserve attention, especially on warm days. It is also a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 26 degrees Celsius. Runway 07/25 is decommissioned. If you need clearance delivery help and cannot reach flight service, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568.
