Are there operational restrictions at Central Wyoming Regional Airport at night?
Conditions at Central Wyoming Regional Airport are not monitored at night after the last air carrier arrival, until 0500 local time. Pilots operating during these hours should consult NOTAMs for the most current field condition updates rather than relying on prior reports. This applies specifically to the period between the final scheduled air carrier arrival and the early morning restart of monitoring. Flight planners scheduling late-night or early-morning operations into KRIW should build in this monitoring gap when assessing field condition reliability.
