KLAM Feedback

[Arob16]

Hey all - I am looking for any pireps out there for KLAM (Los Alamos, NM). I've seen the arrival/departure restrictions due to the National Lab. Airnav only lists a co-op SS fuel pump on property. We are making the trip either late summer or early Oct before NM snow season.

Any feedback on FBO, fuel, parking, or arrival/departure intricacies are appreciated!

I used KSAF as I needed a rental car. No advice on KLAM.

I've never stayed at LAM long enough to use or recommend any of the on-field services, but back in 2013 I put together a PPT presentation for a local WINGS event on the arrival/departure procedures:

Rob's preso basically has everything, but once again: for the love of god don't go there when a) cloud bases are at 8,000 - uncommon in NM but happens, or b) when tailwind component above 10 knots. The last doofus to die at KLAM was a transient attracted by the cheap gas in poor weather.
