Stevens Field

Stevens Field (IATA: PGO, ICAO: KPSO, FAA LID: PSO) is a public-use, general aviation airport located three miles northwest of the central business district of Pagosa Springs in Archuleta County, Colorado, United States.

[1] Due to the nature of the surrounding mountains and elevation, larger aircraft are generally advised to only depart from and land on runway 19 (e.g., heading south).

The airport's fixed-base operator (FBO) provides an attended pilot lounge with seating, restrooms, free WiFi, and full service refueling.

The airport also provides at least one courtesy vehicle that can be used by visiting pilots for free on a first-come-first-serve basis, limited to day or overnight use and travel in the immediate vicinity.

Balloonists operate in the area year round, and will frequently cross over and through the airport's airspace heading east to west, especially in early mornings when launched from Pagosa Springs.

[6] Nearby mountain weather in Wolf Creek Pass, which can significantly impact flight operations in the area, is also collected by an AWOS-3 (station KCPW) and broadcast at 121.125 MHz.

That runway was eventually paved in later years following greater oversight of the airport by Archuleta County, and today it functions as an adjoined taxiway along which numerous hangars house general aviation aircraft.

[7] In 1975, a fixed based operator called Pagosa Springs Aviation began offering charter services, flight instructions, and fuel sales.
