Fowler Airport (18K) sits in Fowler, Kansas. The field elevation is 2,483 ft MSL. It has one runway, 03/21, which is 2,310 ft of turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway markings are simple. Runways 03 and 21 use small red reflectors, solar lights and red cones. There are 28-foot lighted poles on a power line about 450 feet south of the southwest end of runway 03. Keep that in mind on the south side of the field.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current services before you go. For clearance delivery, Kansas City ARTCC is listed in the remarks. With one short turf runway and no tower, this is a field where a clean stabilized approach matters. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any published noise or curfew restrictions before flying in.
