Harvard State Airport is in Harvard, Nebraska. The field elevation is 1,814.5 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 14/32 at 3,873 ft. Runway 17/35 is asphalt at 3,722 ft. This is an untowered field, so plan to self-announce on CTAF 122.9. Keep a close scan in the pattern.

No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the current Chart Supplement before you fly. The published remarks also note that runway 17/35 medium intensity lights are activated through CTAF use. That matters if you are arriving near dusk or after dark. Fuel is handled through the airport manager. Call 402-266-1890 for fuel and airport assistance. Payment is cash or check only. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify current services before departure.

For first-time pilots, the main things to plan for are the high field elevation, the mixed turf and asphalt runways and the lack of tower service. Check the current Chart Supplement for any local procedures before arrival. If you need clearance delivery, the published contact is Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588.
