About Mertens
3CO2 (Mertens) is a privately owned, non-towered airfield in Sterling, Colorado. The field operates with a single runway, 18/36, measuring 4,000 feet long and 100 feet wide with a gravel and dirt surface.
No instrument approach procedures are published, so the field is used under visual flight rules. As a non-towered field, pilots coordinate their own arrivals and departures using standard see-and-avoid procedures. 100LL avgas and Jet A are available on the field. Its private-use designation means pilots need the owner's permission before landing.
The airport sits at 4,192 feet above mean sea level. Given the field elevation, pilots should watch density altitude on hot days.
