Frequently asked questions
Does KAZC have customs processing onsite?
KAZC does not have customs processing onsite. The nearest customs facility is KLAS, located roughly 116 nautical miles away.

This distance should be factored into flight planning for any international arrival.
What runways are available at Colorado City Municipal?

Both are usable for business aviation traffic typical of this field. Runway 11 also carries a REIL system for pilot-activated approach lighting.
Is fuel available at KAZC and what types?
Self-service fuel is available at KAZC. Fuel types on the field include 100LL and A+, and Jet A is also listed among available fuel. Operators should note the airport's attendance schedule of Monday through Saturday, 0800 to 1800, since self-service capability is separate from staffed hours.

What lighting is available at Colorado City Municipal for night operations?

Pilots should plan to activate lighting themselves through the common frequency when arriving after dark.
