Perkins Field is in Overton, Nevada. The field elevation is 1,365.9 ft MSL. It has one runway, 14/32, which is 4,811 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 2,165.9 ft MSL. That matters here because the field sits in a desert environment with a modest elevation. Expect density altitude to be a real factor on warm days. The published remarks also call out daily skydiving activity from sunrise to sunset. Ultralight activity is also ongoing on or near the airport. Plan your traffic scan carefully.
Perkins Field has one on-field FBO. Perkins Field carries AVGAS 100LL. The published remarks also note that Tuesday and Wednesday service is available on call at 702-397-8457. Activated medium intensity runway lighting for runway 14/32 is controlled by CTAF. For clearance delivery, contact Los Angeles ARTCC at 661-575-2079. If you are new to the field, brief the pattern. Watch for jump traffic. Verify current procedures with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival.
