RWY 34

Pioneer Village Fld (0V3) sits in Minden, Nebraska. Field elevation is 2,160.4 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 16/34 at 3,900 ft of concrete. Runway 05/23 is 1,275 ft of turf. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Pioneer Village Field is on the field and carries AVGAS 100LL. Call (308) 830-2727 for current service details. Published remarks also note a gas line marker pole near runway 23. An unlighted pivot irrigation system can move through the approach area for runway 16 during irrigation season. Another pivot can affect the runway 23 approach area during irrigation season. Ultralight activity also occurs on and near the airport.

For a first-time arrival, the main thing to watch is the non-towered flow on 122.7 plus the irrigation and obstruction notes. Runway 16/34 has PAPI and medium intensity runway lights. Use CTAF for lighting. The field sits at a higher elevation than many Nebraska strips, so expect some performance loss on warm days. Check the current Chart Supplement for any additional local procedures before you go in.
