Cortez Municipal’s four approaches serve both ends of its single 7,205 ft runway, so instrument coverage is available for either runway direction despite there being no alternative alignment. Three RNAV (GPS) procedures make satellite navigation the main approach format, while the VOR procedure retains one conventional option. Published departure and obstacle departure procedures extend the set beyond arrivals.
Four Corners Regional has the broadest nearby procedure set, with 13 charts against Cortez’s nine. Telluride Regional is similarly covered with eight, while Durango-La Plata County has six. Blanding Municipal and Monticello are much thinner at three each. The Denver Sectional adds the wider VFR context absent from the terminal procedure charts.

CTAF 122.8. Full civil VHF list, with sector notes, is in the frequencies table on this page — from the FAA NASR subscription.
Cortez Muni has 1 runway. The longest is 03/21 at 7,205 ft by 100 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.
No ILS is published. In total KCEZ has 4 published instrument approaches, of which 3 are RNAV (GPS).
The official FAA airport diagram for Cortez Muni is free to download at the top of this page. It shows runways, taxiways, ramp layout and hold-short positions, and is reissued every 28 days.
The field elevation is 5,917 ft. At that height the air is thin enough to matter: take-off and landing distances are longer than the same aircraft would need at sea level, and the effect worsens as temperature rises. The approach charts carry the altitudes that apply.
No — Cortez Muni has no control tower. Traffic co-ordinates on a common frequency rather than with a controller, which is listed in the frequencies table on this page.
