Butts AAF has one published terminal procedure: an RNAV (GPS) approach serving only one end of Runway 13/31. The reciprocal end has no published instrument approach, while the chart set includes neither a departure procedure nor an airport diagram. With one 4,500 ft runway, there is also no second runway alignment, and its length places a clear constraint on the aircraft able to use the field.
Nearby coverage varies sharply. Colorado Springs Municipal and Pueblo Memorial have much broader procedure sets, while Meadow Lake and Fremont County are only lightly covered. Centennial has the largest collection among the listed airports, despite being the most distant. The Denver and Wichita sectionals add the broader visual-navigation context not provided by Butts AAF’s lone terminal chart.

1 current FAA charts for Butts AAF (Fort Carson), including 1 instrument approach. All are free to download as PDFs from this page, from the 6 August 2026 cycle.
Tower 125.5, 41.5; Ground 118.55; ATIS 108.8. Full civil VHF list, with sector notes, is in the frequencies table on this page — from the FAA NASR subscription.
Butts AAF (Fort Carson) has 1 runway. The longest is 13/31 at 4,500 ft by 75 ft, asphalt. Full runway dimensions, lighting and approach aids are listed on this page.
No ILS is published. In total KFCS has 1 published instrument approach, of which 1 are RNAV (GPS).
Every published approach serves one runway end. There is no instrument procedure to the reciprocal direction, so an arrival in instrument conditions commits to that single approach direction regardless of the wind.
The field elevation is 5,841 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.
Yes. Butts AAF (Fort Carson) has an operating control tower, within Denver Center's airspace. Tower, ground and clearance frequencies are listed on this page.
