GRANT BESLEY
TAOS, NM
Grant Besley, identified as NM03, is a privately owned, non-towered airport in Taos, New Mexico. Its sole runway, 18/36, measures 4,500 feet long and 50 feet wide with a gravel surface.
Operations are limited to visual flight rules, as no instrument approach procedures are published. The strip has no control tower or published frequencies, so pilots keep their own separation using standard see-and-avoid procedures. The field has no fuel sales on record. As a private-use facility, it is not available to transient traffic without prior permission from the owner.
The field rests at 7,646 feet above mean sea level. At that elevation, density altitude is a routine consideration in warm weather.
