About Whitewater Mesa Ranch
Whitewater Mesa Ranch, identified as NM55, is a privately owned, non-towered airfield in Glenwood, New Mexico. Two turf runways serve the field: the longest is 18/36 at 2,300 by 30 feet, and runway 09/27 measures 1,850 by 30 feet.
Visual flight rules apply because no instrument approach procedures are published. Pilots coordinate their own traffic using standard see-and-avoid procedures because there is no control tower. The field has no fuel sales on record. Prior permission from the owner is required, as this is a private-use field.
The airport sits at 5,460 feet above mean sea level. Given the field elevation, pilots should watch density altitude on hot days.
