Frequently asked questions
What runway does KPSO offer for business aviation traffic?
Stevens Field, identified as KPSO, has a single runway, 01/19, measuring 8,100 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. That length accommodates most business jet types operating into this high-elevation Colorado field. The airport sits at 7,663 feet elevation, a factor crews should weigh alongside runway length when calculating performance. There is no parallel runway, so all arrivals and departures use this single strip regardless of wind conditions.
Is there a fuel or weight restriction dispatchers should know about at Stevens Field?
Stevens Field, KPSO, stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel, supporting a mix of piston and turbine traffic. A separate operational note restricts Taxiway B to aircraft under 12,500 pounds, so heavier aircraft need to plan taxi routing accordingly. The field is non-towered, and pilots coordinate movements over CTAF. Attendance runs seven days a week from 0800 to 1700 local. Dispatchers should factor the taxiway weight limit into ground planning for larger business aircraft.
Does KPSO have on-site customs clearance?
Stevens Field does not have on-site customs processing. The nearest customs airport is Albuquerque International Sunport, KABQ, located approximately 137 nautical miles away. Operators requiring customs clearance near Pagosa Springs need to route through that facility rather than clearing directly at KPSO. This distance should factor into routing and fuel planning for any international arrivals in the region.
What time of year sees the most traffic at Stevens Field?
Traffic at Stevens Field, KPSO, concentrates in the summer and fall months according to FAA TFMSC data. July recorded 334 business aviation operations and October recorded 321, the two highest months of the year. By comparison, February through April each saw under 190 operations. Dispatchers planning trips to this Pagosa Springs, Colorado field during peak months should anticipate busier ramp and pattern conditions than in the winter and spring shoulder periods.
Are there any wildlife or airspace considerations pilots should know before operating at KPSO?
Wildlife activity has been reported on and in the vicinity of Stevens Field, so crews should maintain vigilance during approach and departure phases. Balloon operations also occur in the vicinity of the airport, adding another traffic consideration for pilots in the pattern. Runway lighting, including REIL and PAPI on both Runway 01 and Runway 19 plus MIRL on the full runway, is pilot-activated over CTAF since the field is non-towered. For clearance delivery, coordination runs through Denver ARTCC.
